In Re Jeremy Vance Wickman v. the State of Texas

Court of Appeals
Tenth Appellate District of Texas

10-25-00269-CR

In re Jeremy Vance Wickman

Original Proceeding

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Jeremy Vance Wickman filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus

as an original proceeding in this Court contending that he was being illegally

confined and unlawfully restrained. Original jurisdiction to issue a writ

of habeas corpus in a criminal proceeding is limited to the Texas Court of

Criminal Appeals, the district courts, and the county courts. See TEX. CODE

CRIM. PROC. art. 11.05. In his application, Wickman does not allege that he has

filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the trial court and is attempting

to appeal the trial court’s ruling. Because he is seeking direct relief from this

Court, we lack jurisdiction in this proceeding. See Ex parte Twyman, 716

S.W.2d 951, 952 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986).
The petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed by Jeremy Vance Wickman

on August 15, 2025, is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
