STEVE ACOSTA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-55987-M
ORDER
By letter dated October 2, 2014, the Court notified the trial court that the record does not contain the trial court's certification of appellant's right to appeal. Therefore, we asked the trial court to review the record and to file, within ten days, a completed certification of appellant's right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings. When we did not receive the certification by October 21, 2014, we ordered the trial court to prepare and file a certification within ten days. To date, we have not received the certification of appellant's right to appeal nor have we received any communication from the trial court regarding the status of the certification. The trial court must prepare an accurate certification in every case in which a defendant appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
Accordingly, we ORDER the Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge of the 194th Judicial District Court to prepare and file with this Court, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, a certification of appellant's right to appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
