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.
