ROGER EUGENE FAIN APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM THE 372ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant attempts to appeal from two applications for postconviction writs of habeas corpus that he claims were denied by operation of law. On October 29, 2012, we notified Appellant of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the trial court has not entered any appealable orders, and we stated that this appeal was subject to dismissal unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. We received no response.
As this court has previously explained, we have no appellate jurisdiction over a trial court's refusal to issue a writ of habeas corpus or a trial court's refusal to consider the merits of an application for writ of habeas corpus. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
