THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                         STATE


                                     ----------

          FROM THE 297TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
                      TRIAL COURT NO. 1031532D

                                     ----------

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

                                     ----------

      On April 30, 2015, Appellant Johnathan Cooper filed a notice of appeal

challenging the trial court’s January 28, 2015 order denying his motion for

appointment of postconviction habeas counsel.        We sent Appellant a letter

notifying him of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because

this court has no jurisdiction over matters relating to postconviction applications


      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
under article 11.07 of the code of criminal procedure. 2 We indicated that this

appeal could be dismissed absent the filing of a response showing grounds for

continuing the appeal.    Although we received a response, it does not show

grounds for continuing the appeal.

      We generally have jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal

defendant only from a judgment of conviction. 3 We do not have jurisdiction over

a postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus in a felony case, including

a related motion for appointment of counsel. 4

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
