The opinion issued
on March 9, 2006, is hereby withdrawn and the following is the opinion of the
Court.
Lawrence Few has
filed an application for a post conviction writ of habeas corpus, seeking
relief from a felony conviction.  This
Court does not have original habeas jurisdiction in criminal matters.  See Ater
v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex.Crim.App.
1991); Ex parte Hearon, 3 S.W.3d 650, 650 (Tex.App.--Waco 1999, orig. proceeding); Dodson v. State,
988 S.W.2d 833, 835 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1999, no
pet.); Ex parte Hawkins, 885 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex.App.--El
Paso 1994, orig. proceeding). 
Therefore, the application for a writ of habeas corpus is dismissed for
lack of jurisdiction.
