                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

DARRYLL DUANE TAYLOR,                                                     Appellant,

                                          v.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Darryll Duane Taylor, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of out of time

appeal seeking to challenge an order denying a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus.

On March 13, 2014, 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.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
15th day of May, 2014.
