Do not publish [CR25]
From the 52nd District Court Coryell County, Texas Trial Court No. 21-27037
Before Chief Justice Gray,Justice Johnson, and Justice Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
MATT JOHNSON Justice
Jason Edward Bruton appeals from the judgments of conviction against him for four counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact; however, the trial court's certification of his right of appeal, which Bruton and his counsel signed, indicates that Bruton has waived his right of appeal. Accordingly, this appeal must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d) ("The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules."); Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).
Notwithstanding that we are dismissing this appeal, Bruton may file a motion for rehearing with this Court within 15 days after this opinion and judgment are rendered if he believes this opinion and judgment are erroneously based on inaccurate information or documents. See Tex. R. App. P. 49.1. Moreover, if Bruton desires to have the opinion and judgment of this Court reviewed by filing a petition for discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals within 30 days after either the day this Court's judgment is rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court. See id. R. 68.2(a).
For the reasons stated, this appeal is dismissed.
Dismissed.
Chief Justice Gray concurs.
