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.
