                             COURT OF APPEALS

                    THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                      CORPUS CHRISTI — EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

             EX PARTE DELFINO MOLINA AYALA JR.
____________________________________________________________

             On appeal from the 105th District Court
                   of KIeberg County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Tijerina
              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Tijerina

       Appellant, Delfino Molina Ayala Jr., filed a post-conviction application for writ of

habeas corpus at the district court, pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure. On May 17, 2022, the trial court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law

and denied the application for writ of habeas corpus. Appellant now seeks to appeal the

order denying habeas corpus relief.

       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; 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). Accordingly, we are without

jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

       Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Furthermore,

appellant’s pending motion requesting an extension to respond to the Court’s defect

notice, is dismissed as moot.

                                                                  JAIME TIJERINA
                                                                  Justice

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

Delivered and filed on the
18th day of August, 2022.
