Christopher Lee Allnut v. State

Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-11-00048-CR

Christopher Lee ALLNUT, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2009CR8760 Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 16, 2011

DISMISSED

The trial court signed a certification of defendant’s right to appeal stating that this “is a

plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

Rule 25.2(d) provides, “The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant

has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P.

25.2(d). Accordingly, on February 7, 2011, this court issued an order stating this appeal would

be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows 04-11-00048-CR

defendant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State,

110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1.

On March 3, 2011, defendant’s appellate counsel filed a letter stating “this court has no

choice but to dismiss the appeal.” In light of the record presented, we agree with defendant’s

counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is

dismissed.
