Appeal from the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, Trial Court No. 2006-CR-7936, Honorable Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding.
SANDEE BRYAN MARION, Justice, PHYLIS J. SPEEDLIN, Justice, REBECCA SIMMONS, Justice.
Defendant Robert Gibson pled nolo contendere to possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and was sentenced within the terms of a plea bargain. Defendant timely filed a notice of appeal in which he alleges the trial court granted him permission to appeal. The trial court's Certification of Defendant's Right of Appeal states this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk's record contains a written plea bargain and a written waiver of appeal, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by defendant. "In a plea bargain case . . . a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to appeal." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk's record does not contain a written motion ruled on before trial nor does it indicate the trial court granted defendant permission to appeal. This court must dismiss an appeal "if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made a part of the record." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, on May 25, 2007, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2003, order); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1. No amended trial court certification has been filed; therefore, this appeal is dismissed.
