                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant Joe Frank McIntyre was convicted of two charges of felony

driving while intoxicated. McIntyre attempts to appeal the trial court’s denial of his

motion for a free record to pursue a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus.

      This Court has jurisdiction over criminal appeals only when expressly

granted by law. Everett v. State, 91 S.W.3d 386, 386 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, no

pet.). No statute vests this Court with jurisdiction over an appeal from an order

                                          1
denying a request for a free copy of the trial record when the request is not

presented in conjunction with a timely-filed direct appeal. Id.; see Self v. State, 122
S.W.3d 294, 294-95 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2003, no pet.). An intermediate court of

appeals has no jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony

cases. Self, 122 S.W.3d at 295; see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 3

(West Supp. 2012). Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
