MORRISON, Judge
[concurring].
I agree that this court is without jurisdiction to make any order in this proceeding, but I cannot bring myself to agree with the opinion of my brethren wherein they hold that the tribunal referred to in Section 3 of Article 932a is the county court of the county where prosecution was originally instituted. As I see the matter, the criminal district court of Dallas acquired jurisdiction of the relator when prosecution was instituted therein and must retain jurisdiction to the exclusion of all other courts. The opinion of my brethren empowers a county court to set aside a judgment of a district court, as I view it, and I cannot subscribe to such a rule.
I feel that this question has heretofore been adjudicated by this court in Wright v. State, 140 Tex. Cr. R. 193, 143 S. W. 2d 949, and Ex parte Frailey, 146 Tex. Cr. R. 557, 177 S. W. 2d 72, and that the holdings therein are contrary to the conclusion herein reached, and that such decisions are sound and should be followed.
