MICHAEL A. SMITH APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM THE 371ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. 0788049R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant Michael A. Smith appeals from the trial court's order denying his motion for judgment nunc pro tunc. In August 2014, we informed Appellant by letter of our concern that we do not have jurisdiction over his appeal because the order denying his motion does not appear to be an appealable order, and we stated that his appeal could be dismissed unless he or any party filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. While Appellant sent us another motion for judgment nunc pro tunc apparently intended for the trial court, he did not file anything responsive to our letter.
Because an order denying a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is not appealable, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
See Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 148-49 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004) (providing that appropriate remedy for denial of motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is to file petition for writ of mandamus in court of appeals); Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735, 735 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, pet. dism'd) (mem. op.).
