[1]See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4, 52.8(d).

[2]Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief from a final felony conviction rests exclusively with the court of criminal appeals.  See In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding) (“Should an applicant find it necessary to complain about an action or inaction of the convicting court, the applicant may seek mandamus relief from the Court of Criminal Appeals.”); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 5 (“After conviction the procedure outlined in this Act shall be exclusive and any other proceeding shall be void and of no force and effect in discharging the prisoner.”).
