IN THE
TENTH COURT OF
APPEALS

 

No. 10-05-00136-CR
 
Willie Seals,
                                                                      Appellant
 v.
 
The State of Texas,
                                                                      Appellee
 
 
 

From the 54th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court # 96-496-C
 

MEMORANDUM Opinion

 
          Willie
Seals was convicted of indecency with a child and sentenced to 15 years in
prison.  He appealed his conviction, and
in 1999, this Court affirmed his conviction. 
Seals filed a petition for discretionary review with the Court of
Criminal Appeals.  The petition was
refused.
          Seals
has now filed a “Motion for New Trial or in the Alternative – Post-Trial
Hearing for Juror Misconduct, With Brief in Support.”  Although this document, because it was
addressed to the appellate clerk, could possibly be a new appeal, we believe it
to be a post conviction writ of habeas corpus. 
See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005).  
          We
have no jurisdiction of post conviction writs of habeas corpus.  See
Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art.
11.05 (Vernon 1977); see
also Nix v. State, 65 S.W.3d 664,
670 n. 26 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).   
          Accordingly,
we dismiss the writ for want of jurisdiction and forward a copy of the writ to
the trial court and the Court of Criminal Appeals for an appropriate
disposition, wherever that may be.
