Robert Martinez v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00107-CR Robert MARTINEZ, Jr., Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013CR6698 Honorable Jefferson Moore, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: March 14, 2018 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant Robert Martinez, proceeding pro se, attempts to appeal from the trial court’s January 12, 2018 order denying his motion for judgment nunc pro tunc seeking additional pre- sentence jail time credit. However, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has held that the proper procedure for challenging the denial of a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is by writ of mandamus, not by appeal. See Ex parte Florence, 319 S.W.3d 695, 696 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010) (“If the trial court denied the motion for judgment nunc pro tunc or fails to respond, relief may be sought by filing an application for writ of mandamus in a court of appeals.”). 04-18-00107-CR Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
