Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00963-CR ——————————— MEAGAN ASHLEY CAMPBELL, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1806919

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Meagan Ashley Campbell is attempting to appeal from a judgment

of conviction for the offense of injury to a child causing serious bodily injury for

which appellant was sentenced to eight years’ incarceration in the Correctional

Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. See TEX. PENAL CODE § 22.04(a)(1). The judgment of conviction was signed on September 29, 2025.

Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal on November 4, 2025. We dismiss the

appeal.

Appellant lacks the right to appeal. The clerk’s record indicates that appellant

pleaded guilty without an agreement as to punishment but in exchange for the state’s

agreement to recommend a cap of 30 years’ incarceration. Because the State agreed

to cap punishment, this is a plea-bargain case. See Shankle v. State, 119 S.W.3d 808,

813 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003). The trial court’s certification of defendant’s right of

appeal certified that appellant had no right of appeal because this was a plea-bargain

case. Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal for lack

of jurisdiction. See Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). Any

pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Caughey, Johnson, and Dokupil.
