Original Proceeding from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-83205-2021

Before Justices Schenck, Nowell, and Garcia

MEMORANDUM OPINION

ERIN A. NOWELL, JUSTICE

John Thompson has filed a pro se original petition for writ of habeas corpus contending he has been detained for over ninety days in violation of article 17.151 of the code of criminal procedure. The Court has no jurisdiction to consider an original petition for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.05; Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(d); In re Spriggs, 528 S.W.3d 234, 236 (Tex. App.-Amarillo 2017, orig. proceeding); In re Ayers, 515 S.W.3d 356, 356- 57 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, orig. proceeding) (per curiam).

We dismiss relator's petition for want of jurisdiction.
