CHRISTINA JOY WILSON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 260th District Court Orange County, Texas Trial Cause No. D250234-R __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On December 11, 2025, the trial court accepted Christina Joy Wilson’s guilty

plea on an indictment for possession of a controlled substance and placed Wilson on

deferred adjudication community supervision for five years in Trial Court Cause

Number D250234-R. On January 9, 2026, Wilson filed a notice of appeal. The

District Clerk then sent Wilson’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s certification

to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court’s certification, signed on December

1 11, 2025, states that the case “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right

of appeal[]” and “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.”

On January 15, 2026, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal

unless the appellant established that the trial court’s certification was incorrect. None

of the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Because the record lacks a certification

that shows Wilson has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App.

P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
