MEMORANDUM OPINION


Alfredo Bernal, Jr. was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender. Punishment was assessed at five years' imprisonment and a $100 fine. Appellant did not appeal, but later filed an application for post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon 2005). On February 8, 2005, the trial judge entered findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending that the writ be denied. On March 3, 2005, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied appellant's application for writ of habeas corpus. On March 31, 2005, appellant filed a motion to extend time to file his notice of appeal in this Court, and on April 4, 2005, appellant filed a notice of appeal in the trial court. Appellant challenges the trial judge's February 8, 2005 "ruling." This Court has no jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas corpus proceedings under article 11.07 of the code of criminal procedure. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.05, 11.07. Accordingly, we dismiss appellant's motion to extend time to file his notice of appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
