TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                               ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

                                      NO. 03-23-00808-CV

                                   In re Michael Glenn Roller

               ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM WILLIAMSON COUNTY

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               We withdraw our previous opinion issued on January 11, 2024, and substitute the

following opinion in its place. We grant the motion for rehearing.

               Relator Michael Glenn roller, proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for writ of

mandamus challenging the trial court’s order granting the first amended motion for nunc pro tunc

filed by real party in interest Tiffany Eilleen Poehler. Roller and Poehler are parties in a divorce

proceeding. The nunc-pro-tunc order purported to correct the trial court’s order enforcing the

division of property between the parties. The enforcement order was signed on December 15,

2022, and the nunc-pro-tunc order was signed on October 30, 2023. In his petition, Roller

contends that the nunc-pro-tunc order should be vacated because the changes made to the

enforcement order corrected judicial errors rather than clerical errors, and the trial court lost

plenary power to make substantive changes to its enforcement order thirty days after it was
signed. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 316, 329b(f), (g); Perez v. Perez, 658 S.W.3d 864, 872-73 (Tex.

App.—El Paso 2022, no pet.).

              The petition for writ of mandamus is denied because the trial court’s nunc-pro-

tunc order corrected a clerical error rather than a judicial error.    See Andrews v. Koch,

702 S.W.2d 584, 585-86 (Tex. 1986) (per curiam).
