Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00519-CR

Mark Stinson, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 24DCR88969, THE HONORABLE STEVEN J. DUSKIE, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Mark Stinson seeks to appeal his conviction for deadly conduct. See Tex. Penal

Code § 22.05. The trial court has certified that this is a plea-bargain case for which he has no

right to appeal. See Hargraves v. State, Nos. 01-13-00194—00196-CR, 2013 WL 1932139, at

*1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] May 9, 2013, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for

publication) (explaining that agreement in which defendant agreed to plead guilty in exchange

for State’s agreeing to abandon enhancement allegation was plea-bargain agreement).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). 1

1 Although we are dismissing this case, we do note that the trial court’s judgment in this case incorrectly states that the “Statute for Offense” is “22.02(a)(2) Penal Code.” That provision governs the offense of aggravated assault and not deadly conduct as charged in this case. See Tex. Penal Code §§ 22.02, .05; see also Blanton v. State, 369 S.W.3d 894, 897-98 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012) (explaining that trial court may enter judgment nunc pro tunc to correct discrepancy between written judgment and judgment pronounced in court). __________________________________________ Karin Crump, Justice
