Robert Keith Brooks filed a pro se notice of appeal in each cause from the trial court's denial of his postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus. On March 7, 2011, this court wrote appellant and informed him that it did not appear that our court had jurisdiction in these cases. We requested that appellant respond and show grounds to continue the appeals. Appellant has filed a response in which he requests that this court reinstate his direct appeals.
On March 13, 2009, appellant was convicted of the offenses of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to thirty years confinement. Appellant appealed to this court, and the appeals were dismissed by this court on November 19, 2009, in our cause
Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Do not publish. See Tex.R.App. P. 47.2(b).
