Opinion

No. 05-11-00975-CV

Opinion issued August 15, 2011.

Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 4, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. W00-50025-K(D).

Before Chief Justice WRIGHT and Justices MOSELEY and FILLMORE.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


The Court has before it relator's "Motion for Leave to File Writ of Mandamus." In the motion, relator seeks to "present his innocence" and to cease "being unlawfully restrained." Accordingly, we construe the motion as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court has no jurisdiction over habeas corpus proceedings in which the relator seeks relief from a felony judgment after final conviction. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. Art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for a writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction.
