                    CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

                 EX PARTE FRANK ARMENTA
____________________________________________________________

             On Appeal from the 347th District Court
                   of Nueces County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
         Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Longoria
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Frank Armenta, filed notices of appeal seeking to challenge orders

denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On August 18, 2014, the Clerk of this

Court notified appellant that it appeared that the orders from which these appeals were

taken were not appealable orders, and requested correction of these defects within ten

days or the appeals would be dismissed. Appellant has failed to respond to the Court’s

directive.
      Jurisdiction to grant post-conviction habeas corpus relief in felony cases rests

exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN.

art. 11.07, § 5 (Vernon Supp. 2011); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of

Appeals for the Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee,

53   S.W    .3d   715,   717–18     (Tex.   App.—Houston      [1st   Dist.]   2001,   orig.

proceeding). Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

      The appeals are DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
