Full Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-26-00282-CR ___________________________ EX PARTE DAVID HUBBARD On Appeal from the 367th District Court Denton County, Texas Trial Court No. F23-4762-367 (WHC1) Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant David Hubbard sought postconviction habeas corpus relief from his felony conviction, and the trial court entered an order recommending denial of the writ application. See generally Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07. Hubbard attempts to appeal from the trial court’s order, but “[t]his court has no jurisdiction over postconviction applications for writs of habeas corpus in felony cases.” Ex parte Kingston, Nos. 02-24-00440-CR, 02-24-00441-CR, 2025 WL 285355, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Jan. 23, 2025, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication); see Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3(a) (“After final conviction in any felony case, the writ must be made returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals . . . .”); Ex parte Elkins, No. 02-21-00160-CR, 2022 WL 405943, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Feb. 10, 2022, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (“We lack jurisdiction over matters related to postconviction relief from an otherwise final felony conviction; exclusive jurisdiction over those matters is in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.”). Although we gave Hubbard an opportunity to address this jurisdictional flaw, he did not do so, and regardless, it is not something he can change. See Kingston, 2025 WL 285355, at *1 n.1; cf. Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Thus, we dismiss Hubbard’s appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Kingston, 2025 WL 285355, at *1; Elkins, 2022 WL 405943, at *1. 2 /s/ Bonnie Sudderth Bonnie Sudderth Chief Justice Do Not Publish Tex. R.
