Paul Anderson v. State

Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00882-CR

Paul ANDERSON, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010-CR-10683W Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 9, 2011

DISMISSED

On December 28, 2010, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed

pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows appellant has the

right of appeal was made part of the appellate record on or before January 27, 2011. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 175-76 (Tex. App.—San

Antonio 2003, order). Appellant’s counsel filed a response in which she states that she has

reviewed the electronic record and “can find no right of appeal for Appellant;” counsel concedes 04-10-00882-CR

that the appeal must be dismissed. In light of the record presented, we agree with appellant’s

counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The

record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal; to the

contrary, the trial court certification in the record states “this criminal case is one in which the

defendant has waived the right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain,

and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and

agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the clerk’s record supports the trial court’s certification

that defendant has no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Accordingly, we dismiss

the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
