          On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
                   of Hidalgo County, Texas.

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

      Appellant, Jose Olivo, filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge an order

denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. On May 17, 2012, the Clerk of this

Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was taken

was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten days or

the appeal 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 appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
