Case Information

*1 Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-25-00475-CR Ex parte Mark Jerome Pool Original Proceeding J USTICE S MITH delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Mark Jerome Pool, proceeding pro se, filed an application for writ of habeas corpus with this Court claiming that he has been denied “a nunc pro tunc order,” his right to an examining trial, and his “right to compel arbitration.” Pool also asserts that several of his constitutional rights have been violated.

Intermediate appellate courts do not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal law matters. See T EX . G OV ’ T C ODE A NN . § 22.221(d). Jurisdiction to grant a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case vests with the Court of Criminal Appeals, the district courts, the county courts, or any judge in those courts. See T EX . C ODE C RIM . P ROC . A NN . art. 11.05; Ex parte Braswell , 630 S.W.3d 600, 601-02 (Tex. App. — Waco 2021, *2 orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss Pool ’s application for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction.
