ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
 
 
 

MEMORANDUM 
OPINION
On January 5, 2011, relator Artis Charles Harrell
filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov’t
Code Ann §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. In his petition,
relator asks that this court compel the respondent, the Honorable Jan Crocker,
presiding judge of the 184th District Court in Harris County, to vacate
relator’s judgment of conviction for aggravated robbery.  We dismiss for want
of jurisdiction.
In 2005 a jury convicted relator of aggravated robbery and sentenced him
to confinement for 99 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice.  This court affirmed his conviction.  Harrell
v. State, No. 14-05-00753-CR, 2006 WL 1140418 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th
Dist.] April 27, 2006, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). 
The substance of the relief sought by relator in his petition
is habeas corpus relief following a final felony conviction.  Article 11.07 of
the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure provides the exclusive means to challenge
a final felony conviction.  Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v.
Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist., 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App.
1995).  Such an application for writ of habeas corpus is returnable to the Court
of Criminal Appeals.  The court of appeals does not have jurisdiction.  Id.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for lack
of jurisdiction.
