IN RE MICHAEL HANCOCK


Original Proceeding


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Michael Hancock filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to correct the Penal Code section number on two judgments by issuing judgments nunc pro tunc. The trial court signed judgments nunc pro tunc after Hancock filed his mandamus petition. Nunc pro tunc judgments are appealable orders. Blanton v. State, 369 S.W.3d 894, 904 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). "If an adequate remedy at law is available in the form of an appeal, it is an abuse of discretion to grant mandamus relief." Alvarez v. Eighth Court of Appeals of Tex., 977 S.W.2d 590, 592 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

PETITION DENIED.

PER CURIAM Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ.
