STEVEN CRAIG ESKRIDGE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do Not Publish
Submitted on February 6, 2024
On Appeal from the 221st District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 23-03-04553-CR
Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On July 13, 2023, the trial court sentenced Steven Craig Eskridge on an indictment for theft. On December 18, 2023, Eskridge filed a notice of appeal pro se.
The District Clerk then sent Eskridge's notice of appeal and the trial court's certification to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court's certification shows that this is a plea-bargain case and that Eskridge has no right to appeal.
On December 20, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established the trial court's certification was incorrect. Even though Eskridge responded to the Court's notice, his response fails to establish that the trial court's certification that states he has no right to appeal is incorrect. Because the record lacks a certification that shows Eskridge has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
We note that it appears Eskridge filed a notice of appeal too late to perfect an appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2, 26.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
