MEMORANDUM OPINION


On October 22, 2003, relator, Donald Ray Mezzell, filed petitions for writs of habeas corpus. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(d) (Vernon Supp. 2003); see also Tex.R.App.P. 52. In is petitions, relator challenges the validity of two prior convictions for driving while intoxicated.

We are unable to consider relator's petitions for writ of habeas corpus because our authority to entertain petitions for writ of habeas corpus extends solely to the actions of judges in civil cases. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(d). Therefore, we dismiss relator's petitions for lack of jurisdiction.
