EX PARTE JOSE ISAI CALVILLO RAMOS
On appeal from the 206th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
Memorandum OpinionPer Curiam
Appellant, Jose Isai Calvillo Ramos, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an order denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On August 15, 2016, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was taken was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten days or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court's directive.
Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 5 (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee, 53 S.W .3d 715, 717-18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.
The appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM Do not publish.
