IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-17-00304-CR LOWELL QUINCY GREEN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-790-C2 and IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-17-00327-CR EX PARTE LOWELL QUINCY GREEN, Appellant From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-709-C2 and IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-17-00328-CR EX PARTE LOWELL QUINCY GREEN, Appellant From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-791-C2 MEMORANDUM OPINION In appellate cause numbers 10-17-00304-CR, 10-17-00327-CR, and 10-17-00328-CR, Lowell Quincy Green filed two “writ of error” proceedings and another proceeding seeking to quash the indictments and reverse his convictions in trial court cause numbers 2012-709-C2, 2012-790-C2, and 2012-791-C2. The Court of Criminal Appeals and this Green v. State & Ex parte Green Page 2 Court have recognized that “the exclusive post-conviction remedy in final felony convictions in Texas courts is through a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to [article] 11.07.” Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 525 n.8 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); see TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015); Ex parte Mendenhall, 209 S.W.3d 260, 261 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, no pet.); see also Ex parte Beard, No. 10-15-00252-CR, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS 8522, at *2 (Tex. App.—Waco Aug. 13, 2015, orig. proceeding). Moreover, only the Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus in felony cases. See Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); see also Ex parte Beard, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS 8522, at **1-2. Because we have no jurisdiction over post-conviction habeas-corpus proceedings in felony cases, we dismiss Green’s proceedings in appellate cause numbers 10-17-00304CR, 10-17-00327-CR, and 10-17-00328-CR. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07; Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 525 n.8; Ex parte Mendenhall, 209 S.W.3d at 261; see also Ex parte Beard, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS 8522, at **1-2.
