Opinion

Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas

10-25-00176-CR

Keya Thompson, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

On appeal from the 52nd District Court of Coryell County, Texas Senior Judge Roy Sparkman, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 20-26253

CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Keya Thompson attempts to appeal convictions for continuous sexual

assault of a child under the age of 14, sexual assault of a child, and indecency

with a child. The certificate of right to appeal in each cause number indicates

that Thompson has waived the right to appeal. By letter dated June 11, 2025,

the Clerk of this Court advised Thompson that this appeal would be dismissed

because it appears that the right to appeal had been waived unless a response was received showing that Thompson did not waive the right to appeal. No

response was filed.

Because the trial court’s certificate of right to appeal signed by

Thompson indicates that Thompson has waived the 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."); Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615,

622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
