Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-22-00244-CR No. 10-22-00245-CR

CHRISTOPHER JOHN LONGAZEL, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 66th District Court Hill County, Texas Trial Court Nos. F168-22 & F169-22

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Christopher Longazel attempts to appeal his convictions for possession of a

controlled substance. The certificate of right to appeal in each cause number indicates

that this is a plea bargain case and that Longazel waived his right to appeal. Because the

trial court’s certificate of right of appeal that Longazel signed indicates that Longazel has

no right to appeal and has waived his right to appeal, this appeal must be dismissed. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); (“The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made a part of the record under these

rules.”); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (plea bargain); Monreal

v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003 (waiver of appeal).

Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.
