TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-07-00238-CR Douglas Howard Doores, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. CR99-255, HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDING 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. __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Puryear and Henson Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: July 9, 2007 Do Not Publish 2
