PETER J. FLORES APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE


FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. 1520365D MEMORANDUM OPINION

Through a plea-bargain agreement, the trial court convicted appellant Peter J. Flores of evading arrest in a vehicle and sentenced him to three years' confinement. The trial court signed a certification stating that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Nonetheless, Flores filed a notice of appeal.

We sent Flores a letter stating that we received the certification and the notice of appeal and informing him that unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. His response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, because we have not received a certification showing that Flores has the right to appeal his plea-bargained conviction or sentence, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Serrell v. State, No. 02-16-00219-CR, 2016 WL 6648757, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Nov. 10, 2016, no pet.)
