IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-12-00299-CR EX PARTE DARRYL DEWAYNE WILLIAMS From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. MEMORANDUM OPINION In this original proceeding, Darryl Dewayne Williams seeks pretrial habeas corpus relief for the trial court s alleged failure to return an order to Williams on his pro se motion to withdraw counsel.1 The courts of appeals do not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal law matters. Ex parte Price, 228 S.W.3d 885, 886 (Tex. App. Waco 2007, orig. proceeding); Ex parte Hearon, 3 S.W.3d 650 (Tex. App. Waco 1999, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss Williams s pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction. The petition has numerous procedural deficiencies. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52. To expedite our disposition of this proceeding, we implement Rule 2 and suspend Rule 52 s procedural requirements. Id. 2. 1 REX D. DAVIS Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Petition dismissed Opinion delivered and filed August 30, 2012 Do not publish [OT06] Ex parte Williams Page 2
