            Robert
Keith Brooks filed a pro se notice of appeal in each cause from the trial
court’s denial of his postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus.  On
March 7, 2011, this court wrote appellant and informed him that it did not
appear that our court had jurisdiction in these cases.  We requested that
appellant respond and show grounds to continue the appeals.  Appellant has
filed a response in which he requests that this court reinstate his direct
appeals.
On
March 13, 2009, appellant was convicted of the offenses of aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon and sentenced to thirty years confinement.  Appellant appealed
to this court, and the appeals were dismissed by this court on November 19,
2009, in our cause nos. 11-09-00121-CR and 11-09-00122-CR.  This court has no
jurisdiction to reinstate appellant’s direct appeals or to consider appeals
from the denial of postconviction applications for writ of habeas corpus filed
pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann.
art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2010).  
Accordingly,
these appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
