Appeal from the district court of comal county, 207th judicial district no. Cr99-255, honorable jack h. Robison, judge presiding.
Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Puryear and Henson.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Douglas Howard Doores seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motion for entry of a judgment nunc pro tunc. It appears that Doores is seeking additional jail time credit. An appeal does not lie from an order denying a request for judgment nunc pro tunc to correct the award of jail time credit. Sanchez v. State, 112 S.W.3d 311, 312 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2003, no pet.); Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735 (Tex.App.-Waco 2002, pet. ref'd). The appropriate procedure for a person seeking additional jail time credit is to present the issue to the trial court in a motion for nunc pro tunc judgment and if the motion is unsuccessful, to seek relief by a petition for writ of mandamus. Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 148-49 (Tex.Crim.App. 2004).
The appeal is dismissed.
