IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
                       OF TEXAS

                                    NO. PD-0154-21

                        ROHN M. WEATHERLY, Appellant

                                            v.

                               THE STATE OF TEXAS

        ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
               FROM THE SECOND COURT OF APPEALS
                         TARRANT COUNTY

       RICHARDSON, J., filed a concurring opinion.

                              CONCURRING OPINION

      Today the Court refuses Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review. We have

previously explained that “[t]his Court does not lack jurisdiction to consider Applicant’s

habeas application. . . . [t]herefore, this Court will abstain from deciding Applicant’s

habeas claims until Applicant has exhausted his appellate remedies with regard to the

judgment nunc pro tunc.” Ex parte Weatherly, No. WR-61,215-09 (Tex. Crim. App.

February 26, 2020) (not designated for publication).
                                                                                           2

       While I agree with the Court’s decision, I write separately to indicate that Appellant

may be entitled to relief under Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, as

we noted in the prior order cited above.
