in which KELLER, P.J., and MEYERS, PRICE, HERVEY, and COCHRAN, JJ., joined.
Pedro Jose Santana filed a subsequent application under Article 11.07, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, alleging that he is actually innocent. We filed and set this case to determine whether Santana’s first application, which presented a claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, challenged the conviction for purposes of Article 11.07, Section 4. We hold that it did and that his current claim is procedurally barred. Therefore, we dismiss his application under Section 4.
