Tony Ray Jones has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus, seeking relief from a felony conviction. This Court does not have original habeas jurisdiction in criminal matters. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991); Ex parte Hearon, 3 S.W.3d 650, 650 (Tex.App.--Waco 1999, orig. proceeding); Dodson v. State, 988 S.W.2d 833, 835 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1999, no pet.); Ex parte Hawkins, 885 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex.App.--El Paso 1994, orig. proceeding). Therefore, the application for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
