Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 20, 2022 No. 04-19-00244-CR Christopher KINES, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 81st Judicial District Court, Wilson County, Texas Trial Court No. 16-07-153-CRW Honorable Lynn Ellison, Judge Presiding

ORDER This court’s opinion in this appeal issued on April 15, 2020. After the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals refused appellant’s petition for discretionary review, this court’s mandate issued on December 28, 2020. Appellant has filed a pro se motion requesting a copy of the reporter’s record for purposes of filing a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. This court has no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony cases. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07; In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding). Post-conviction writs of habeas corpus are to be filed in the trial court in which the conviction was obtained, and made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07. In order to obtain a free copy of the record, appellant would need to file a motion in the trial court in which the conviction was obtained and demonstrate that his claim is not frivolous and that the record is needed to decide the issues presented. See United States v. MacCollom, 426 U.S. 317, 326 (1976); Escobar v. State, 880 S.W.2d 782, 783 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, no pet.). Appellant’s motion is DENIED without prejudice to seeking relief in the proper court.
