JULIE GAYLENE LOMBARDO, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 932351

ABATEMENT ORDER

Appellant timely appealed from a judgment revoking community supervision. On September 4, 2015, the trial court clerk filed the clerk’s record, which contained a certification of appellant’s right to appeal after appellant’s guilty plea, but did not contain a certification of appellant’s right to appeal addressing the judgment revoking community supervision. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), 34.5(a)(12); see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (“The court of appeals must dismiss an appeal if a certification showing that the defendant has the right to appeal is not made a part of the appellate record.”). We therefore abate the case and order the trial court to execute a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2), 37.1, 44.4; Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803, 806–07 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).

An appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613. In connection with this record, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.1 and 44.4, we abate this appeal and direct the trial court to file a certification of the defendant’s right of appeal on the judgment revoking community supervision with the trial court clerk and direct the clerk to prepare and file a supplemental clerk’s record containing the corrected certification with this court within 30 days of the date of this order.
