                           COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

AHMAD RASHEED,                                                           Appellant,

                                         v.

                   of Victoria County, Texas.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Perkes
                  Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Ahmad Rasheed, attempted to perfect an appeal from convictions for

murder and deadly conduct.    However, in 2008, we affirmed these convictions, and

thereafter, appellant sought and obtained permission to file out-of-time petitions for

discretionary review based on counsel’s failure to timely notify appellant that his

convictions had been affirmed. See Ex Parte Rasheed, Nos. AP-76,686 & AP-76,687,
2011 WL 5578942, at *1 (Tex. Crim. App. Nov. 9, 2011) (not designated for publication).

Through this current appeal, appellant continues to attack the previously-mentioned

convictions.

       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 (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene

v. Ct. of Apps. 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, this appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                  PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
19th day of November, 2015.
