                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
                           Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Fillmore
                                     Opinion by Justice Francis

        Before the Court is relator=s Amotion for due course of law.@ Because relator seeks to set

aside his conviction on the ground that his counsel was ineffective, we treat this filing as a petition

for writ of habeas corpus. This Court has no jurisdiction over habeas corpus proceedings in which

the relator seeks relief from a felony judgment after final conviction. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

ANN. Art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). Only the Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over

such petitions. Accordingly, we DISMISS relator=s petition for a writ of habeas corpus for want of

jurisdiction.
