Opinion

OPINION

LEE ANN DAUPHINOT, Justice.

Appellant Raymond Dominic Cozzi, Jr. appeals from the trial court’s order dismissing his article 11.072 application for writ of habeas corpus as moot. 1 Article 11.072 provides that “the trial court shall enter a written order granting or denying *455 the relief sought in the application.” 2 An applicant may appeal from the denial of any or all relief. 3 In this case, the trial court did not enter the statutorily mandated ruling but instead dismissed the application. While Appellant could have very well fried a petition for a writ of mandamus in this court, requesting that the trial judge be ordered to rule on his application, 4 he does not have the right to appeal from a dismissal of his application. 5 We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
