Ex parte Denver Kyle Moore
Original Proceeding
JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Denver Kyle Moore filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in this
Court pursuant to article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure requesting
a sentence reduction. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07.
Intermediate appellate courts do not have original habeas corpus
jurisdiction in criminal law matters. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(d).
Jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case vests with the
Court of Criminal Appeals, the district courts, the county courts, or any judge
in those courts. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.05; Ex parte Braswell,
630 S.W.3d 600, 601-02 (Tex. App.—Waco 2021, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, we dismiss Moore’s petition for writ of habeas corpus for
want of jurisdiction.
