V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS , Appellee

__________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 258th District Court Polk County, Texas Trial Cause No. 19,197

__________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant David Earl Stanley filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order denying his motion for clarification of the terms of his restitution. On May 13 , 202 1, we notified the parties that it appears the order Stanley seeks to appeal is neither a final judgment nor an appealable order . The court requested a written reply from the parties identifying the particular statute or rule authorizing an appeal and

warn ed that we would dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction unless our jurisdiction over the appeal is established

. Stanley filed a response in which he2 argues that because a judgment nunc pro tunc is appealable, “it logically follows” that an order denyi ng a requested judgment nunc pro tunc is appealable . For the reasons explained below, Stanley failed to establish that the order is appealable. This Court previously affirmed Stanley’s conviction for arson. See Stanley v.

- CR, 2010 WL 4922909 (Tex. App.

— Beaumont Dec. 1,
2010 , no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). The right to appeal in criminal cases is conferred by statute, and a party may appeal only from a judgment of conviction or an interlocut ory order as authorized by statute. See Tex. Code Crim.
Pr oc. Ann. art. 44.02; Ragston v. State , 42 4 S.W.3d 49, 52 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). An order denying a motion seeking a judgment nunc pro tunc is generally not appealable. See Abbott v. State , 271 S.W. 3d 694, 69 6

– 9 7 (Tex. Crim. App. 2018) ( holding that no rule, statute, or constitutional provision authorizes appeal of a post

judgment order denying a time

- credit motion); Sanchez v. State , 112 S.W.3d 311, 312 (Tex. App.

— Corpus Christi 2003, no pet.) (hold ing that the appellate court lacked jurisdiction to review an order denying a request for judgment nunc pro tunc). 1

1 We express no opinion as to whether Stanley could file a petition for mandamus relief or seek habeas corpus relief. See Ex parte Florence , 319 S.W.3d 695, 696 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010) (holding that if a trial court denies a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc , relief may be sought by filing a petition for writ of mandamus). To the extent Stanley is seeking post

- conviction relief from a final felony conviction, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has exclusive appellate3 We conclude that the trial court has not signed an appealable order over which this Court has jurisdiction. Accordingly, for all these reasons, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1
