Ex Parte Amador M. Valdez v.--Appeal from 290th Judicial District Court of Bexar County

MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-06-00680-CR

EX PARTE Amador M. VALDEZ

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2006-W-0274

Honorable Sharon Macrae , Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini , Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion , Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin , Justice

Delivered and Filed: November 15, 2006

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Appellant is appealing from the denial of an application for writ of habeas corpus filed in the trial court. In its order, the trial court specifically states that it is refusing to consider the merits of the application for writ of habeas corpus. We do not have jurisdiction to review a denial of an application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Hargett, 819 S.W.2d 866, 868 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We can only review a ruling on the merits of the claim. Id.

We, therefore, ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant has failed to file a response.

We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
