Juan Roberto RODRIGUEZ, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 1990CR1294-W10 Honorable Christine Del Prado, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal, but the clerk's record does not contain a trial court's certification of the defendant's right of appeal.
"The trial court shall enter a certification of the defendant's right of appeal each time it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order." Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2). Generally, a trial court's judgment after verdict is a judgment of guilt and is an appealable order. See id.; Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803, 805 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02; Tex.R.App.P. 33.1.
Therefore, we order the presiding judge of the 227th Judicial District Court of Bexar County, Texas to (1) sign a completed certification indicating whether the defendant has a right of appeal and (2) forward it to the Bexar County Clerk within twenty days of the date of this order.
We also order the Bexar County Clerk to file a supplemental clerk's record containing the trial court's certification of the defendant's right of appeal in this court within ten days after the trial court provides the certification to the clerk. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2).
It is so ORDERED.
