ANTHONY EARL CALDWELL, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 209th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1433609

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered a guilty plea to manslaughter. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for nineteen years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.

The trial court signed a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). On August 6, 2020, appellant’s counsel filed a suggestion with the court that the court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. We agree and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
