JUSTIN BARRY MCDONALD APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM THE 371ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Pursuant to a plea bargain, Appellant Justin Barry McDonald signed a judicial confession and pled guilty to injury to a child causing bodily injury, a third-degree felony, and true to an enhancement paragraph, and the trial court convicted him of that offense and sentenced him to two years' confinement.Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal.
See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.04(a)(3)(f) (West Supp. 2012).
Seeid. §§ 12.33(a)-(b) (West 2011) (providing punishment range for second-degree jail felony is two to twenty years' confinement and a fine of up to $10,000), 12.42(a) (West Supp. 2012) (providing defendant convicted of third-degree felony when proof is shown of prior felony conviction will be punished for second-degree felony).
The trial court's certification states that this is a plea-bargained case and that Appellant has no right of appeal. Accordingly, we informed Appellant by letter in July 2012 that this case was subject to dismissal unless he or any party showed grounds for continuing the appeal on or before Friday, July 27, 2012.Appellant's response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. We therefore dismiss this appeal.
