KEVIN CARTER, APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE


On Appeal from the 64th District Court Hale County, Texas
Trial Court No. A20306-1610 , Honorable Robert W. Kinkaid, Jr., Presiding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Kevin Carter was convicted of aggravated robbery, sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment, and assessed a $3,000 fine. The trial court's certification of appellant's right of appeal reflects that appellant's case is a plea-bargain case with no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). Notwithstanding the certification, appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal challenging his conviction.

By letter dated July 31, 2017, we notified appellant of the consequences of the certification and invited him to file an amended certification showing a right of appeal or demonstrate other grounds for continuing the appeal on or before August 14. Appellant has not filed an amended certification reflecting a right of appeal or a response establishing good cause for continuing this appeal.

For that reason, the appeal is 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").
