## Opinion text

Opinion issued October 28, 2004
In The
Court of Appeals
For The
First District of Texas
____________
NO. 01-04-01001-CR
____________
IN RE ROBERT ANTHONY BROWN, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Robert Anthony Brown, filed an original petition for writ of habeas
corpus in this Court. He requests that we reduce the amount of his pretrial bail or
order his release from custody in cause numbers 990261 and 990262, pending in the
228th District Court of Harris County.
The courts of appeals have no original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal
matters. Dodson v. State , 988 S.W.2d 833, 835 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1999, no
pet.); Ex parte Denby , 627 S.W.2d 435, 435 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1981,
orig. proceeding); Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(d) (Vernon 2004). Therefore,
we are without jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Hanks, and Higley.
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
