Appeal from the 54th District Court, McLennan County, Texas, Trial Court # 96-496-C. Writ dismissed.

MEMORANDUM Opinion
Willie Seals was convicted of indecency with a child and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He appealed his conviction, and in 1999, this Court affirmed his conviction. Seals filed a petition for discretionary review with the Court of Criminal Appeals. The petition was refused. Seals has now filed a "Motion for New Trial or in the Alternative — Post-Trial Hearing for Juror Misconduct, With Brief in Support." Although this document, because it was addressed to the appellate clerk, could possibly be a new appeal, we believe it to be a post conviction writ of habeas corpus. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). We have no jurisdiction of post conviction writs of habeas corpus. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.05 (Vernon 1977); see also Nix v. State, 65 S.W.3d 664, 670 n. 26 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001). Accordingly, we dismiss the writ for want of jurisdiction and forward a copy of the writ to the trial court and the Court of Criminal Appeals for an appropriate disposition, wherever that may be.
