FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 40396, THE HONORABLE STEVEN J. DUSKIE, JUDGE PRESIDING
Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
THOMAS J. BAKER, JUSTICE
Appellant Keith Anthony Collins filed with the trial court a motion requesting that the court release a pre-sentence investigation report that was used during a 2015 sentencing hearing, and the trial court denied the motion. See Collins v. State, No. 03-15-00629-CR, 2016 WL 768447, at *5 (Tex. App.-Austin Feb. 26, 2016, pet. ref'd) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (affirming Collins's conviction for aggravated robbery). After Collins filed a notice of appeal, the trial court certified that he has no right to appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). If a trial court does not certify that a defendant has the right to appeal, the appeal "must be dismissed." See id. R. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Cf. Collins v. State, No. 03-21-00045-CR, 2021 WL 520449, at *1 (Tex. App.- Austin Feb. 12, 2021, no pet.) (determining that no statute grants defendants "the right to appeal the denial of a post-conviction motion seeking a copy of the pre-sentence investigation report" and dismissing appeal for want of jurisdiction).
Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
