In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-22-00406-CR NO. 14-22-00407-CR NO. 14-22-00408-CR IN RE IGNACIO NAVARRO, Relator On Appeal from the 240th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 18-DCR-082964; 19-DCR-086329; 19-DCR-087397 MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 8, 2022, relator Ignacio Navarro filed petitions for writs of habeas corpus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petitions, relator claims that he is being illegally confined and restrained of his liberty by the Sheriff of Fort Bend County. This Court does not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal cases. In re Ayers, 515 S.W.3d 356, 356 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2016, orig. proceeding) (citing Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(d)). Original jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case is vested in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the district courts, the county courts, or a judge in those courts. Id. (citing Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art 11.05). Therefore, this Court is without jurisdiction to consider relator’s petitions requesting habeas corpus relief. The relief sought by relator is not within this Court’s jurisdiction. As such, relator’s petitions for writ of habeas corpus are dismissed for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain and Poissant. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
