Opinion

Order entered December 4, 2014

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00604-CR

ALAN LEE WASHINGTON, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F12-57841-R

ORDER

On November 4, 2014, this Court ordered the trial court to prepare and file, within

fifteen days, a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. To date, we have not received the certification, nor have we had any communication from the trial court regarding the status of the certification. The trial court is required to prepare a certification of the right to appeal in every case in which the defendant is appealing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).

Accordingly, we ORDER the Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court, to prepare and file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, a certification of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
