OPINION

MORRISON, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order denying the relief prayed for after a hearing on a petition for writ of coram nobis, denominated by this Court as an application for writ of habeas corpus.

Appellant’s right to appeal exists because the writ was granted, and after hearing, the relief prayed for was denied. Nichlos v. State, 158 Tex.Cr.R. 367, 255 S. W.2d 522, 526. While it is true that the Court denied the relief prayed for because he thought he had no legal authority to grant the same, we will for the purposes of this appeal decide from this record whether the Court erred…
