COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________ EX PARTE JOSE OLIVO ____________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2 of Hidalgo County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Jose Olivo, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an order denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On May 17, 2012, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was taken was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten days or the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court=s directive. Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon Supp. 2011); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee, S.W .3d 715, 717–18 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

The appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
