WESLEY WELLINGTON WHITE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 749118

MEMORANDUM O P I N I O N
	A jury convicted appellant Wesley Wellington White, on  February 3, 1998, 
of the offense of aggravated robbery, and the trial court sentenced appellant to
confinement for 99 years.  Appellant filed notice of appeal on February 3, 1998, and
the appeal was assigned to this Court.
	On July 8, 1999, we issued an opinion affirming the trial court's judgment. 
White v. State, No. 01-98-00224-CR (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] July 8, 1999,
no pet.)(not designated for publication).  Our mandate issued on May 1, 2000.
	On January 23, 2008, appellant filed, in trial court case number 749118, a pro
se "motion for production of trial transcripts, clerk's records, and documents in forma
pauperis."  The trial court denied the motion on January 28, 2008.  Appellant gave 
notice of appeal.  Appellant's appeal of the trial court's denial of his motion, was
assigned to this Court and given a new appellate cause number 01-08-00224-CR.   
	Our judgment of July 8, 1999 is final.  The matters raised in relator's post
judgment  motion and notice of appeal are not within our jurisdiction. (1)   The exclusive
post-conviction remedy in final felony convictions in Texas courts is through a writ
of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. See
Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2007); Ater v. Eighth Court of
Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
 	Accordingly, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
