Court of Appeals

No. 06-14-00153-CR
REGINALD SANDERS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 09-F-363-202
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Reginald Sanders, appellant, has filed a pro se notice of appeal from his January 2010
aggravated robbery conviction in the 202nd Judicial District Court of Bowie County, Texas. By
letter dated August 28, 2014, we informed Sanders that this Court had already affirmed his
January 2010 conviction in an earlier appeal filed by Sanders through appointed counsel. See
Sanders v. State, No. 06-10-00128-CR, 2011 Tex. App. LEXIS 1568 (Tex. App.—Texarkana
Mar. 3, 2011, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Having notified Sanders of
this potential defect in our jurisdiction over the instant appeal, we also afforded him an
opportunity to cure the defect by demonstrating how this Court has jurisdiction over a second
direct appeal from the same conviction. We received no response from Sanders.
We are without jurisdiction to hear subsequent appeals from Sanders’ January 2010
aggravated robbery conviction. See Hines v. State, 70 S.W. 955, 957 (Tex. 1903) (only one
direct appeal allowed from judgment of conviction); McDonald v. State, 401 S.W.3d 360, 361–
63 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2013, pet. ref’d) (dismissing subsequent appeal of previously affirmed
conviction for want of jurisdiction).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
