EX PARTE SAM WILEY, JR.
From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012-381-C2
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We affirmed Sam Wiley, Jr.'s conviction in trial court cause number 2012-381-C2 on August 28, 2014, Wiley v. State, No. 10-14-00018-CR, 2014 WL 4385765, at *1 (Tex. App.—Waco Aug. 28, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication), and mandate issued on January 5, 2015. Wiley has now filed a document requesting "leave of court to file a 'writ of error'" in which he prays that this Court reverse his judgment of conviction in trial court cause number 2012-381-C2.
The Court of Criminal Appeals and this Court have recognized that "the exclusive post-conviction remedy in final felony convictions in Texas courts is through a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to [Code of Criminal Procedure article] 11.07." Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 525 n.8 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); see TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015); Ex parte Mendenhall, 209 S.W.3d 260, 261 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, no pet.). Moreover, only the Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus in felony cases. See Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995) (orig. proceeding); Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
