COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG ____________________________________________________________

LAWRENCE BENNY BROWN JR., Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the 24th District Court of Victoria County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Longoria Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Lawrence Benny Brown Jr., attempts to appeal the trial court=s order of

October 2, 2012 correcting the court reporter’s record. On January 11, 2013, the Clerk

of this Court notified appellant that it appeared that the order from which the appeal was taken was not an appealable order, and requested correction of this defect within ten

days or the appeal would be dismissed.

Appellant’s counsel responded, outlining the procedural history in which the Court

affirmed a judgment in another appeal Lawrence Benny Brown Jr. v. The State of Texas,

Cause No. 13-11-00595-CR, 2012 Tex. App. LEXIS 7007, *1-*2 (Tex. App.BCorpus

Christi Aug. 21, 2012, pet. filed). The Order to Correct Reporter’s Record signed on

October 2, 2012 appears to be related to Cause No. 13-11-00595-CR which was affirmed

without the corrected reporter’s record. Counsel’s response confirms that there is not an

appealable judgment.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, is of the

opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the

appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.3(a).
