MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Morris, Francis, and Mazzant
 
        Lester Jon Ruston filed a petition for writ of error coram nobis seeking to have his conviction in this case expunged from his record. The trial court denied the writ, and this appeal followed.
        Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure is the exclusive means to set aside a prior felony conviction in a collateral proceeding. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 525 n.8 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (citing Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (orig. proceeding)); Ex parte Mendenhall, 209 S.W.3d 260, 261 (Tex. App.-Waco 2006, no pet.). A writ of error coram nobis is not available in Texas as a post-conviction remedy. See In re Reyes, 195 S.W.3d 127, 127-28 (Tex. App.-Waco 2005).
        We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
