IN RE ABRAHAM CAMPOS, Applicant 

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Applicant, Abraham Campos, acting pro se, petitions this Court for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. (1)  This Court has no jurisdiction to hear a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus in felony cases.  See Board of
Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District, 910
S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). 
	In his petition, applicant requests that this Court grant him an out-of-time
appeal.  This Court does not have jurisdiction to grant an out-of-time appeal.  Tex.
Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2008).  Applicant's remedy is to
seek an out-of-time appeal from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals by application
for writ of habeas corpus  pursuant to article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure.  See Ater v. Eight Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241 (Tex. Crim. App.
1991) (stating that out-of-time appeals in felony cases are governed by article 11.07
of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure).
	Accordingly, we dismiss applicant's application for writ of habeas corpus for
want of jurisdiction.  All requested relief is denied.

	It is so ORDERED.
