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. 1

The applications were filed as original proceedings in this Court contending

that Jeremy Vance Wickman is being illegally confined and unlawfully

restrained in Navarro County, Texas in four separate cause numbers.

Original jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus in a criminal

proceeding is limited to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the district

1 Wickman filed a previous application with this Court on August 15, 2025, alleging the same facts,

which was dismissed on August 18, 2025. See In re Wickman, No. 10-25-00269-CR, 2025 WL 2399598,
2025 Tex. App. LEXIS 6326 (Tex. App.—Waco Aug. 18, 2025, no pet. h.). Wickman’s wife and father
have filed similar petitions on Wickman’s behalf.
courts, and the county courts. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.05. In the

application, Wickman does not allege that he has filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus in the trial court from which he is attempting to appeal.

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 petitions for writ of habeas corpus filed by Jeremy Vance Wickman

on August 26, 2025, are dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a).
