IN RE: Robert Troy McClure

NO. 03–13–00305–CV

Decided: May 14, 2013

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Goodwin and Field

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Relator Robert Troy McClure has filed a pro se petition for writ of Habeas Corpus in this Court. Intermediate courts of appeals lack jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief from final felony convictions. See Tex.Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp.2012) (procedure for application for writ of habeas corpus); Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex.Crim.App.1995); In re Watson, 253 S.W.3d 319, 320 (Tex.App.—Amarillo 2008, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss McClure's petition for want of jurisdiction.¹
