Tanzy Joseph Deshotel, III, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

On appeal from the 361st District Court of Brazos County, Texas Judge Steve Smith, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 16-02919-CRF-361

JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In a notice of appeal dated April 1, 2025, Tanzy Joseph Deshotel, III

attempts to appeal a judgment nunc pro tunc signed by the trial court on

October 29, 2019, for the second time. This judgment was appealed the first

time by Deshotel in 2019, and this Court issued an opinion and judgment

affirming his conviction on November 10, 2021. See Deshotel v. State, No. 10-

19-00397-CR, 2021 WL 5235002, 2021 Tex. App. LEXIS 9182 (Tex. App.— Waco Nov. 10, 2021, no pet.). No petition for discretionary review was filed,

and this Court’s mandate issued on December 21, 2021.

Even if this current appeal was not barred because of our prior opinion

and judgment, Deshotel’s notice of appeal is untimely. This appeal is

dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
