TIMOTHY DEWAYNE PULL INS, JR., APPELLANT

V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE §

§ APPEAL FROM THE 7TH

JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Timothy Dewayne Pullins, Jr., acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal in trial court cause
number 007

- 0509

- 13 , in which he was convicted of aggravated robbery , a felony

. Sentence was imposed on October 17 , 2013. Appellant appealed and this Court affirmed Appellant’s conviction on May 6, 2015. See Pullins v. State , No. 12

- 13

- 00330

- CR, 2015 WL 2124897 (Tex. App.

— Tyler May 6, 2015, pet. ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Appellant filed a new notice of appeal on January 6, 2020

. In the notice of appeal, Appellant mentions new evidence, claims Section 29.03 of the penal code (aggravated robbery) is unconstitutional, and contends he
“made an involuntary and unlawful plea bargain to said offense.” His docketing statement reflects

an intent to appeal from his 2013 conviction. Accordingly, o n January 6, the Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that the information received in this appeal doe s not show the jurisdiction of this Court. Specifically, there is no final judgment or appealable order contained therein. The notice further informed Appellant that the appeal would be dismissed unless the information was amended on or before February 5 to show this Court’s jurisdiction. This deadline expired without an amended notice of appeal or other response from Appellant.
I n criminal cases, an appellate court has jurisdiction only from a final judgment of conviction or where expressly granted by law. See Abbott v. State , 271 S.W.3d 694, 696

– 97 (Tex.2 Crim. App. 2008) (standard for determining jurisdiction is not whether appeal is precluded by law but whether appeal is authorized by law); see also Young v. State , No. 12

– Waco 2002, no pet.). To the extent Appellant attempts to appeal from his conviction, we again note that Appellant previously appealed his conviction and this Court affirmed his conviction. Pullins , 2015 WL 2124897. Our mandate issued on December 11, 2015 and Appellant’s conviction is final. He is not entitled to a second appeal of that same conviction. See Huffma n v. State

- CR, 2019 WL 908289, at *1 (Tex. App.

— Austin Feb. 22, 2019, pet. ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals possesses jurisdiction in final post

- conviction felony proceedings. See Ater

v. Eighth Court of Appeals , 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991)

. And the record does not indicate the existence of a new final judgment or other appealable order over which this Court could exercise jurisdiction. Accordingly, for these reasons, we dis miss Appellant’s appeal for want of jurisdiction
