ERNEST EDWARD GAINES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F05-56570-S
ORDER
This appeal is from the trial court's order denying appellant's motion for post-conviction DNA testing pursuant to chapter 64 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The rule 25.2 certification of appellant's right to appeal contained in the clerk's record appears to be one prepared by appellant himself. It is not signed by the trial court or counsel.
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to prepare and file with this Court, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a certification of appellant's right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Amber Givens-Davis, Presiding Judge, 282nd Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all parties.

CHIEF JUSTICE
