VAN WATSON, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the I 80th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 699312

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Van Watson, Jr., pleaded guilty to the felony offense of

aggravated sexual assault of a child and the trial court sentenced appellant to thirty

years' confinement. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.021 (West S\lPP· 2013); see

also In re Watson, No. 01-11-00626-CR, 2011 WL 3820953, at *1 (Tex. App.- Houston pst Dist.) Aug. 25, 20ll, mig. proceeding) (mem. op.~ not cles\gnateclfor publication) (noting that appellant was convicted of felony offense of sexual

assault of a child). Appellant later filed a "motion for nunc pro tunc to correct

judgment and sentence." The trial court denied the motion and appellant now

attempts to appeal from the trial court's order denying his motion for judgment

nunc pro tunc. We dismiss the appeal.

The denial of a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is not an appealable

order. See Lozano v. State, No. 01-13-00180-CR, 2013 WL 2106570, at *1 (Tex.

App.-Houston [1st Dist.] May 14, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for

publication); Zelaya v. State, Nos. 0 1"' 11-00977 -CR, 0 1-11-00978-CR, 01-11-

00979-CR, 2013 WL 127439, at *1 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] Jan. 10, 2013, I

no pet.) (mem .. op., not designated for publication); Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d

735, 735 (Tex. App.-Waco 2002, pet. dism'd).

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 43.2(f). We ~ismiss any pending motions as moot.

NO. 699312-A

EX PARTE IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF

HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS

VAN WATSON, JR., I 80TH JUDICIAL DlSTRICT Applicant

ATTORNE ·, '<;ANSWER TO POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FILED BY VAN WATSON JR.

In response to Mr. Wa,;on's Post-Conviction Writ and the Proposed Order

designating issues and for tiline an affidavit summarizing the facts of the case and, in

genera!, my efforts to represent, lr. \Vatson:

r was appointed to rcpres>nt Van Watson, Jr. out of the !80th District Court on Ap.r:il 25, 1995. I leame.d that Mr. Warson had allegedly, on April 12, 1995, at gun point

sexually assaulted his i 5-ycar old natural daughter. At that time I reviewed the State's

files, had discussions with my client and on April 26, 1995 went to the District

Attorney's office and made a full review of the offense report in his case. From early.

conversations with the Defendant he claimed to have no recollection of committing the

offense, claimed a history of mental illness and gave me information with regards to his

medical records and the places he had been treated, but took no position that he had '11

not committed the offense. Over the ,next couple of months, I filed motions for sanity 0 C:l evaluations, had many letters back and forth between myself and the Defendant. I Gl C. . .:...! requested a competency and sanity evaluation on Mr. Watson. Those evaluations

come back with a finding that he was competent to stand trial and sane at the time of the

alleged offense. ! continued efforts to obtain records from Rosewood Psychiatric cf\) ~ I\ ,j- ·1 ./ v

Hospital, St. Luke's Hospital, from a Dr. Levinthal, and a Dr. Shaadi. During this period

of time it became my impression that Mr. Watson would want to try his case to a jury and

our efforts to obtain records and pull together anything that might help him, should he be

found guilty, increased. r obtained infonnation on two other people who had children by Mr. Watson and attempted to contact them for any information that might be helpful. I

prepared the motion for an independent mental health expert to work with us on the case

in the event that that case had to be set for trial. This was due to a request by the

Defendant that perhaps he might he go into the Baylor College of Medicine Sex Offender

Program and would like Dr. Michael Cox from that program to be able to testifY in

connection with potential punishment to a jury. Subpoenaes were issued for medical

records, several of which were f!led with Court from the various facilities that had

treated Mr. Watson.

As my representation continued it became apparent that Mr. Watson was not

realistic in hi.s expectations. He several times inquired about when he would be able to

go back together with his family which was not likely to happen. He also seemed to

believe that he could just go into a mental hospital and not have to deal with the criminal

charge against him. Toward August 1995, Mr. Watson made inquiry whether he could

waive a jury and allow the Court to hear his case. At that time we discussed whether he

would want to do that on plea of guilty or no contest, or whether he would want to have

a Court trial. We discussed the various alternatives available to him at that time and the

fact that, although the Court could not grant him a straight probation for the offense he <..:::>

August 4, 1995, Mr. Watso-1 entered a plea of guilty and a Pre-Sentence Report was

ordered for September 28, ·; 995, at which time Judge Stricklin would do sentencing on

·the Defendant. This was d. me with no agreed recommendation with respect to

punishment, although it dou seem th:l! there was an agreement that the Court would

have a punishment cap of 3t l years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice should

the Court sentence the Defer dant to penitentiary time. There was one sentencing delay

and after a reset, the Court ir. October sentenced the Delendant to 30 years in the Texas

Department of Criminal Just ice. From my recollection, the Defendant testified at his PSI

hearing, still not denying that the act had occtmed, along with Vanetta McGee and Mrs.

Van Watson.

I will now deal with the specific portions oft:he Order where the Court has

ordered me to respond to certain matters.

1. · At no time did I tell Van Watson that he could ever be given probation in

exchange or as a result of a plea of guilty to the Court. Thus that factor never entered

into his plea of guilty.

2. There was no promise made to the Defendant in connection with his plea of

guilty other than that the Court could consider a deferred adjudication and all the way up

to the maximum range of punishment which, if my recollection of a cap on punishment

is correct, would have heen then 30 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

3. Although 1 would not have had a copy in my tile, it is my recollection that we

filed a written motion for community service and that, of course, the Court denied that (_11

moti·::>n in sentencing Mr. Watson to the 30 year sentence. c:.J 4. I was not aware of any t:vidence, including the medical records the complainant C.::.J Cl CJI

(: ~~ v ~ . :. -~ 3 Scanned Oct 20,

mentions, which would verify that no sexua I act occurred between Mr. Watson and his

15-year old daughter. I certainly saw no medical examination report that in any way

indi;;ated that there had been no sexual ass~,ult of the complainant.

5. Of course, i fi had been aware of a11y document, if it existed, that showed that a

medical doctor, examiner, or other expert had concluded that no sexual assault took

place, the discussions that I had with the Defendant. the decisions we made, could have

been affected.

6. Certainly, Mr. Watson, over the several months that I represented him, agonized

with the fact that he could not remember the sexual assault, but that he knew that if the

girl said that he had done it, then he did it. Even during the sentencing procedure,

Mr. Watson made a specific admission to having sexually assaulted his daughter

although, he originally termed it having "having thi:; affair with my daughter."

Mr. Watson eventually became more concerned with his belief that a jury would in all

probability sentence him to a greatc;:r length of time than perhaps the Court would. It

aiso became his belief that he could, through his medical records and history, his

renwrse for what had happened, his willingness to admit the offense, and to acknowledge

that if his daughter said he had sexually assaulted her then he must have, that he could

convince the Court that he was a suitable candidate for a deferred adjudication probation.

Based on all of the factors above, I certainly feel that Mr. Watson's decision was freely,

knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made.
