TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-13-00305-CV

In re Robert Troy McClure

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

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
