Opinion issued August 27, 2026 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-26-00837-CR ——————————— EX PARTE ISAAC JAMES JONES, Appellant On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 04113610101H-3 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Isaac James Jones, incarcerated and acting pro se, is seeking to appeal from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals’ April 30, 2026 denial without written order of his application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.1 We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Article 11.07 permits a defendant to file an application for writ of habeas corpus when seeking relief from a felony judgment imposing a penalty other than death. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07. The writ shall be made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Id. It is well-established that Article 11.07 “vests complete jurisdiction” to the Court of Criminal Appeals to handle cases seeking such relief and that appellate courts “have no jurisdiction over criminal-law matters pertaining to proceedings under article 11.07, including appellate review of applications denied by the CCA.” Ex parte Griffin, No. 03-23-00093-CR, 2023 WL 2617798, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Mar. 24, 2023, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication); see also Ex parte Schweyer, No. 01-25-00328-CR, 2025 WL 1688400, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] June 17, 2025, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (“Article 11.07 contains no role for the courts of appeals.”) (quoting citation omitted). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot. 1 The underlying cases are The State of Texas v. Isaac James Jones, Cause No. 04113610101H-3, pending in the 178th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Kelli Johnson presiding. 2 PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Rivas-Molloy and Guiney.
