IN RE HOWARD LEE GRANT
Original Proceeding
MEMORANDUM OPINION

On October 5, 2006, Howard Lee Grant filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52. The relator's petition collaterally attacks his conviction in Cause No. 62503. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07 provides the exclusive means to challenge a final felony conviction, and jurisdiction to grant post conviction habeas corpus relief on a final felony conviction rests exclusively with the Court of Criminal Appeals. Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, 3 (Vernon 2005). The petition is denied.

WRIT DENIED.
