Jay Vincent Hopwood, Jr. v. State ( 2020 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-20-00023-CR
JAY VINCENT HOPWOOD, JR.,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 54th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-1657-C2
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jay Vincent Hopwood, Jr. appeals the trial court’s denial of Hopwood’s “Motion
for Nunc Pro Tunc Judgement.”
We do not have appellate jurisdiction of the denial of a motion for judgment nunc
pro tunc. Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, pet. dism'd). The
appropriate remedy to obtain review of the denial of a nunc pro tunc motion is by a
petition for writ of mandamus. Ex parte Forooghi, 185 S.W.3d 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006)
(Johnson, J., concurring statement); see also Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 149 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2004).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P.
43.2(f).
Hopwood may file a motion for rehearing with this Court within 15 days after this
opinion and judgment are rendered if he believes this opinion and judgment are
erroneously based on inaccurate information or documents. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. If
Hopwood desires to have the decision of this Court reviewed by filing a petition for
discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals
within 30 days after either the day this Court's judgment was rendered or the day the last
timely motion for rehearing was overruled by this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(a).
