MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-06-00835-CV
IN RE James Allen HALL
Original Habeas Corpus Proceeding (1)
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone , Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin , Justice
Rebecca Simmons , Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 13, 2006
PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On November 30, 2006, James Allen Hall filed an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus complaining of his
commitment stemming from a juvenile adjudication of delinquency. A person confined pursuant to an adjudication
and disposition in juvenile court is entitled to seek habeas corpus relief in the appropriate court; however, this court
does not have original habeas corpus jurisdiction of such matters. See Ex parte Valle,104 S.W.3d 888, 889-90 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2003); Tex. Fam. Code Ann. 56.01(o) (Vernon 2002); see also Tex. Gov't Code Ann. 22.221 (d) (Vernon
2004) (delineating original habeas corpus jurisdiction of intermediate appellate courts). Accordingly, Hall's petition, his
motion for leave to file a petition, and his motion for court-appointed counsel are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
1. This proceeding arises from Cause No. 95-JUV-01540, styled In the Matter of J.A.H., filed in the 289th Judicial
District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Carmen Kelsey presiding.
