IN RE RYAN WALLACE

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-73110

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Smith, Garcia, and Kennedy
Opinion by Justice Kennedy
Appellant previously filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking vacatur of

a 2013 conviction. On April 24, 2024, we dismissed the petition for want of

jurisdiction. See In re Wallace, No. 05-24-00317-CV, 2024 WL 1757246, at *1

(Tex. App.—Dallas Apr. 24, 2024, orig. proceeding).1 In this appeal, appellant

challenges our April 24 opinion. We questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal

attempting to challenge that opinion and directed the parties to file letter briefs

addressing the jurisdictional issue.

1
We denied appellant’s motion for rehearing on June 4, 2024.
Although appellant filed a letter brief, nothing therein demonstrates our

jurisdiction over a new appeal challenging our prior opinion dismissing his petition

for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
