John Francisco Soriano v. State

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00525-CR

John Francisco SORIANO, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-CR-1857 Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: November 7, 2012

DISMISSED

On August 30, 2012, 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 appellant has the

right of appeal was made part of the appellate record within thirty days. See TEX. R. APP. P.

25.2(d), 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 175-76 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003,

order). Appellant did not file an amended certification. The clerk’s record does not contain a

certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal; to the contrary, the trial court 04-12-00525-CR

certification in the record states “this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has

NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain, and the punishment

assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the

defendant; therefore, the clerk’s record supports the trial court’s certification that defendant has

no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
