TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-13-00305-CV

                                  In re Robert Troy McClure

                     ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM COMAL COUNTY

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator Robert Troy McClure has filed a pro se petition for writ of Habeas Corpus

in this Court. Intermediate courts of appeals lack jurisdiction to grant habeas corpus relief

from final felony convictions. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2012)

(procedure for application for writ of habeas corpus); Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene

v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re Watson,

253 S.W.3d 319, 320 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2008, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss

McClure’s petition for want of jurisdiction.1

         Relator McClure also filed a motion to only file one copy of his petition. We dismiss this
motion as moot.
