Original Court Document: View Document
Jonathan N. Brock, an inmate at the San Saba prison unit, filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus on August 16, 1994, challenging the legality of his confinement based on the denial of time credits. The application was assigned cause number 3-94-711-CR in the Court of Appeals for the Third District of Texas. However, the court noted that the transcript provided did not include an order denying relief or a notice of appeal, resulting in a lack of jurisdiction to hear the case. The court highlighted that Brock's claim is appropriately raised in a post-conviction habeas corpus proceeding under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07, which requires filing in the court of conviction. Brock's application failed to provide the necessary details, such as the cause number of his conviction and the court where it was obtained. Consequently, the court advised Brock to refile his application in the correct venue and dismissed the appeal. The decision was rendered by Justices Powers, Aboussie, and B. A. Smith on December 14, 1994.
