MEMORANDUM OPINION


Relator is seeking post-conviction mandamus relief from his "void conviction" for burglary of a building. On direct appeal, we affirmed the trial court's judgment in this felony case. See Rivers v. State, No. 05-04-01631-CR (Tex.App.-Dallas June 5, 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication). Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction in final post-conviction felony proceedings. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon 2005); In re McFee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator's petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
