MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nos. 04-11-00720-CR & 04-11-00721-CR
Michael Joseph GRIFFITH,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 198th Judicial District Court, Mason County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 4285-91 &
The Honorable M. Rex Emerson, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 2, 2011
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant has filed a notice of appeal in each of these appeals seeking to appeal the trial
court’s order denying his motion for a judgment nunc pro tunc. On October 4, 2011, we ordered
appellant to show cause in writing why these appeals should not be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. Our order noted that the denial of a motion for a judgment nunc pro tunc is not an
appealable order; instead, the proper remedy to obtain review of the denial of a motion for
judgment nunc pro tunc is by petition for writ of mandamus. See Caceras v. State, No. 04-10-
04-11-00720-CR & 04-11-00721-CR
00132-CR, 2010 WL 726884, at *1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Mar. 3, 2010, no pet.) (not
designated for publication); Castor v. State, 205 S.W.3d 666, 667 (Tex. App.—Waco 2006, no
pet.). On October 17, 2011, appellant filed a petition for writ of mandamus in response to our
order. Because we do not have jurisdiction to consider an appeal of an order denying a motion
for a judgment nunc pro tunc, these appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
