MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator Pablo Diego Zuazu seeks a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.072.
Article 11.072 establishes the habeas procedures in a felony or misdemeanor case in which the applicant seeks relief from a judgment of conviction ordering community supervision. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.072 § 1 (West Supp. 2013). One procedural requirement is that the habeas application be filed with the clerk of the court in which community supervision was imposed. Id. art. 11.072 § 2.
Relator filed his Article 11.072 habeas application in this court. However, our jurisdiction under that article is appellate, not original. See id. arts. 4.03, 11.072, § 8 (West Supp. 2012); see also TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(d) (West 2004) (limits original habeas jurisdiction of court of appeals to civil cases where restraint results from violation of prior court order). Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to consider the merits of his claim. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator's application for writ of habeas corpus. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
