OPINION

MALONEY, Justice.

Walter McCullough, Jr. appeals the trial court’s denial of the relief requested in his application for writ of habeas corpus. In three points of error, appellant contends the trial court erred in concluding that (1) appellant received effective assistance of counsel at trial; (2) appellant’s plea of “no contest” was voluntary; and (3) a higher standard for “Board Certified lawyers in criminal law” did not apply to appellant’s ineffective assistance of counsel claim. We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
