JESUS GONZALEZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1351489

ABATEMENT ORDER

Appellant appealed from a conviction for the offense of aggravated sexual assault. On October 30, 2015, the trial court clerk filed the clerk's record, which contains a certification of appellant's right to appeal his original guilty plea, but does not contain a certification of appellant's right to appeal on the adjudication. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), 34.5(a)(12); see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) ("The court of appeals must dismiss an appeal if a certification showing that the defendant has the right to appeal is not made a part of the appellate record."). We therefore abate the case and order the trial court to execute a certification of appellant's right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2), 37.1, 44.4; Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803, 806-07 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).

An appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613. In connection with this record, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 37.1 and 44.4, we abate this appeal and direct the trial court to file a certification of the defendant's right of appeal with the trial court clerk and direct the clerk to prepare and file a supplemental clerk's record containing the corrected certification with this court within 30 days of the date of this order.
