NOS. 12-15-00050-CR 12-15-00051-CR 12-15-00052-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS IN RE: § JOSE CONCEPCION GARCIA, § RELATOR § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Relator Jose Conception Garcia complains in this original mandamus proceeding that the District Clerk of Wood County, Texas, has failed to comply with her duties pertaining to Relator’s postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07 is the exclusive procedure available to an applicant seeking relief from a felony judgment imposing a penalty other than death. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 §§ 1, 5 (West Supp. 2014). Moreover, the court of criminal appeals has recently clarified that because it has exclusive Article 11.07 jurisdiction, an intermediate appellate court has no jurisdiction to rule on matters pertaining to a pending Article 11.07 application. See Padieu v. Court of Appeals of Tex., Fifth Dist., 392 S.W.3d 115, 117-18 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Because Article 11.07 applies to Relator’s pending application for habeas relief, and this Court has no jurisdiction to rule on any matters pertaining to a pending Article 11.07 habeas application, we are without jurisdiction to reach the merits of Relator’s complaint. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 § 1; Padieu, 392 S.W.3d at 117-18. Opinion delivered February 27, 2015. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
