Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-22-00096-CV

In re Israel Montoya Martinez

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Israel Montoya Martinez, an inmate in the Comal County Jail, has filed another pro se original petition for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. We only have appellate, not original, habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal matters. See Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221(d); Tex. Gov't Code § 22.221(d); see also In re Martinez, No. 03-22-00049-CV, 2022 WL 495045, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Feb. 18, 2022, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s application for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
