                       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.

                                     PER CURIAM

                 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

          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

           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                                 <..:::>


           was accused of, they could consider a deferred adjudication form ofprobation if he                                        ~.i,
           wished the Judge to consider that after a Pre-Sentence Investigation Report. On                                           .__   )

           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

           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.

   RE: Trial Court Case# 699312-D


   Dear Mr. Watson:

   After a thorough search of our records, we find that you do not hav~ a Writ of Habeas Corpus
   filed in the Court of Criminal Appeals at this time. If you have any further questions or
   concerns, please direct them to the District Clerk in the convicting county where you originally
   filed the application.

   I am herewith returning your documents.

    RE: Trial Court Case #699312D


   Dear Mr. Watson:

   After a thorough search of our records, we find that you do not have a Writ of Habeas Corpus
   filed in the Court of Criminal Appeals at this time. If you have any further questions or
   concerns, please direct them to the District Clerk in the convicting county where you originally
   filed the application.
                                                                                                                        ~.   J....

   I am herewith returning your documents.
