Writ of Habeas Corpus Dismissed, Opinion issued February 14, 2013 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00139-CV IN RE DAVID L. MILLER, Relator Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 7 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F03-73517-H MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Fillmore Opinion by Justice Francis Before the Court is relator=s Amotion for due course of law.@ Because relator seeks to set aside his conviction on the ground that his counsel was ineffective, we treat this filing as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. This Court has no jurisdiction over habeas corpus proceedings in which the relator seeks relief from a felony judgment after final conviction. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. Art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). Only the Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction over such petitions. Accordingly, we DISMISS relator=s petition for a writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction. /Molly Francis/ MOLLY FRANCIS JUSTICE 130139F.P05
