                       MICHAEL HOSEA, Appellant

                                      V.

                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


                  On Appeal from the 232nd District Court
                          Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 9415203


                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Michael Hosea, attempts a third appeal of his March 31, 1995

conviction for murder. This Court previously affirmed the judgment of the trial
court. Hosea v. State, No. 01–95–00358–CR, 1997 WL 709453 (Tex.

App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Nov. 6, 1997, pet. ref’d.) (mem. op., not designated for

publication). In addition, the Court dismissed appellant’s second appeal. Hosea v.

State, No. 01–11–01050–CR, 2012 WL 2345351 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]

June 21, 2012, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication).

       On October 5, 2011, appellant filed a motion for new trial. The record

reflects a notice from the district clerk to appellant, stating that the trial court denied

the motion. On September 12, 2012, appellant filed a notice of appeal, stating that

he sought to challenge the “district court’s ruling on out-of time motion for new trial

filed May 10, 2012, an appealable ruling.”

       The exclusive post-conviction remedy in final felony convictions in Texas

courts, as here, is through a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Texas Code of

Criminal Procedure article 11.07. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, §.5

(Vernon Supp. 2012) (providing that “[a]fter conviction, the procedure outlined in

this Act shall be exclusive and any other proceeding shall be void and of no force

and effect in discharging the prisoner”); Bd. of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v.

Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995)

(holding that article 11.07 provides the exclusive means to challenge a final felony

conviction). This Court lacks jurisdiction to consider appellant’s appeal.

                                            2
      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.

                                 PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Bland and Huddle.
