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.
