Dismiss and Opinion Filed August 22, 2023

                                       In The
                             Court of Appeals
                      Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
                                No. 05-23-00626-CR

                       EX PARTE CID ARTECONA, JR.

                On Appeal from the 15th Judicial District Court
                           Grayson County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 052550

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Reichek, and Miskel
                            Opinion by Justice Miskel
      Cid Artecona, Jr. has filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal to this Court

the trial court’s findings and recommendation that appellant’s application for writ of

habeas corpus under article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure be

dismissed.

      A court of appeals may review appeals only when authorized by law. Abbott

v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 696–97 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). An applicant imprisoned

after final conviction for a felony offense who desires to apply for habeas relief must

do so under article 11.07 of the code of criminal procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM.

PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, §§ 1, 3; Bd. of Pardons and Paroles ex rel. Keene v. The
Eighth Court of Appeals, 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995) (orig.

proceeding).   This Court is not authorized by law to review the trial court’s

determinations on an article 11.07 writ application. See CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07, §

3(b) (providing writ of habeas corpus filed after final conviction of felony for which

death penalty is not imposed must be filed with trial court clerk and writ of habeas

corpus is returnable to court of criminal appeals); Keene, 910 S.W.2d at 483; see

also Crowe v. State, No. 05-22-00430-CR 2022 WL 1485994, at *1 (Tex. App.—

Dallas May 11, 2022, no pet.) (dismissing appeal of trial court’s findings of fact and

conclusions of law on appellant’s application for writ of habeas corpus under article

11.07).

      Because we have no jurisdiction to review the trial court’s determinations on

appellant’s article 11.07 application for writ of habeas corpus, we dismiss this

appeal.
