                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Michael Hancock filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial

court to correct the Penal Code section number on two judgments by issuing

judgments nunc pro tunc. The trial court signed judgments nunc pro tunc after

Hancock filed his mandamus petition. Nunc pro tunc judgments are appealable

orders. Blanton v. State, 369 S.W.3d 894, 904 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). “If an

adequate remedy at law is available in the form of an appeal, it is an abuse of

discretion to grant mandamus relief.” Alvarez v. Eighth Court of Appeals of Tex.,

977 S.W.2d 590, 592 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). Therefore, the petition for writ of

mandamus is denied.
