OPINION ON REMAND
Appellant, Elvis Kelley, appealed an order of the District Court denying him bail under the provisions of Article I § 11a of the Texas Constitution. We reversed the trial court and ordered the trial court's order of August 23, 1989 denying appellant bail set aside. Kelley v. State, 782 S.W.2d 537
(Tex.App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1989), filed December 7, 1989. The State filed a petition for discretionary review with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
On February 28, 1990 the Court of Criminal Appeals granted the State's petition, vacated our judgment and remanded the cause to our court with instructions to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Kelley v. State, 785 S.W.2d 157
(Tex.Crim.App. 1990).
In its opinion, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals relied on Clapp v. State, 639 S.W.2d 949 (Tex.Crim.App. 1982) wherein it was held that the Court of Criminal Appeals is vested with exclusive jurisdiction of appeals from orders denying bail entered pursuant to Article I § 11a of the Texas Constitution. See Primrose v. State, 725 S.W.2d 254
(Tex.Crim.App. 1987).
We find that our court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. Therefore, we vacate our *Page 107 
judgment of December 7, 1989 and dismiss appellant's appeal.
