On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F12-24443-Q

ORDER

By letter dated August 6, 2014, the Court notified the trial court that the record does not

contain a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. A the trial court is required to prepare a certification of appellant’s right to appeal in each case in which the defendant is appealing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). We asked the trial court to file a certification within ten days. To date, we have not received the certification of appellant’s right to appeal.

Accordingly, we ORDER the Honorable Lena Levario, presiding judge of the 204th Judicial District Court, to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a completed certification of appellant’s right to appeal.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Lena Levario, Presiding Judge, 204th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
