Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-15-00270-CR EX PARTE Timothy CAMPBELL From the County Court at Law No. 13, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 484926 Honorable Crystal D. Chandler, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 29, 2015 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION This is an accelerated appeal. Timothy Campbell has filed a notice of appeal, stating that he is appealing the denial of his pre-trial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking release because of delay. Appellant states that relief was denied by the trial court on April 14, 2015. However, the clerk’s record has now been filed and does not reflect that the trial court has ruled on Campbell’s application for writ of habeas corpus. Appellate courts 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). They can only review a ruling on the merits of the claim. Id. The clerk’s record does not indicate that the trial court has considered the merits of Campbell’s application for writ of habeas corpus. It therefore appears that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. On June 27, 2015, we ordered Timothy Campbell 04-15-00270-CR to show cause on or before July 1, 2015, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. No response has been filed. We therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
