AI-assisted research summary: The Court of Criminal Appeals may review or revise cases when it has jurisdiction, and either court may transfer a case to the other court if the appeal was filed in the wrong court. If the two courts disagree on jurisdiction, the Supreme Court’s decision controls.

Wherever jurisdiction is now or may hereafter be conferred on the Court of Criminal Appeals, a review or revision may be had in and by the Court of Criminal Appeals in the same manner and by the same mode and means as is provided for appeal, review or revision in or by the Supreme Court. Wherever the appeal or review is taken or attempted to be taken to the Supreme Court when it should have been taken to the Court of Criminal Appeals, the Supreme Court may ex mero motu or upon motion have the case, record and proceedings transferred to the Court of Criminal Appeals for decision and disposition by the Court of Criminal Appeals; and, if the appeal or review is taken or attempted to be taken to the Court of Criminal Appeals when it should have been taken to the Supreme Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals may ex mero motu or on motion transfer the case, record and proceedings to the Supreme Court for disposition by the Supreme Court. If, however, there should be a conflict or difference of opinion between the two courts as to which has jurisdiction of the appeal or proceedings to review, the decision of the Supreme Court shall control.
