TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-14-00272-CR

Michael Wade Parrett, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 277TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 02-131-K277, HONORABLE KEN ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In the above cause, appellant Michael Wade Parrett has filed a pro se notice of appeal

from the district court’s 2006 judgment adjudicating him guilty of the felony offense of controlled-

substance fraud. He has also filed with this Court a motion for appointment of counsel and motion

for preparation of the appellate record. However, this Court has already affirmed the 2006 judgment

in an earlier appeal filed by Parrett, who at the time was represented by appointed counsel, and

mandate has long since issued.1 We do not have jurisdiction to consider subsequent appeals from

1 See Parrett v. State, No. 03-06-00467-CR, 2007 Tex. App. LEXIS 4497 (Tex. App.—Austin June 7, 2007, no pet.) (mem. op. on reh’g, not designated for publication) (appeal filed pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)). that same judgment of conviction.2 Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction and

dismiss Parrett’s motions as moot.
