NO. 12-14-00135-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS IN RE: § KEVIN REVELS, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING RELATOR § MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Relator Kevin Revels was convicted of aggravated assault on a correctional officer with a deadly weapon. This court affirmed his conviction. See generally Revels v. State, No. 12-93-00325-CR (Tex. App.–Tyler June 29, 1995, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). In this proceeding, he seeks an order remanding cause number 12-93-00325-CR with instructions that the trial court dismiss the case and discharge him from prison. We construe Relator’s “Petition Requesting Court to Dismiss Case” as a postconviction petition for writ of habeas corpus.

A writ of habeas corpus is the exclusive means to challenge a final felony conviction.

TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 § 3 (West Supp. 2013); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Eighth Dist. Court of Appeals, 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). But only the court of criminal appeals has jurisdiction to grant postconviction habeas relief from a final felony conviction. See Keene, 910 S.W.2d at 483. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s postconviction petition for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction.
