On December 6, 2005, the trial court denied Minh An Phung's applications for writ of habeas corpus without conducting an evidentiary hearing or issuing the writ of habeas corpus. We questioned our jurisdiction over the appeals. The appellant amended his notices of appeal but did not establish grounds for continuing the appeals.

No appeal lies from the refusal to issue writ of habeas corpus unless the trial court conducts an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the applications. Ex parte Hargett, 819 S.W.2d 866 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Noe v. State, 646 S.W.2d 230 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983). The trial court did not issue writs of habeas corpus, nor did the court conduct an evidentiary hearing on the applications for the writ. Compare Ex parte Silva, 968 S.W.2d 367 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Ex parte McCullough, 966 S.W.2d 529 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). We hold we have no jurisdiction over these appeals. Accordingly, it is ordered that the appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
