Gerardo HERNANDEZ, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012CR6520C
Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant pled guilty to robbery. The trial court's certification of defendant's right to 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). After appellant filed his notice of appeal, the court clerk sent copies of the certification and notice of appeal to this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(e).
Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal, in which he asserts a written pre-trial motion to suppress was denied on June 14, 2013. The clerk's record contains a written plea bargain agreement, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the State and agreed to by the appellant. The clerk's record contains two motions to suppress, but does not contain any orders ruling on these motions.
"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). 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).
It is therefore ORDERED this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d), unless an amended trial court certification that shows appellant has the right of appeal has been made part of the appellate record by August 12, 2013. See Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, order); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1.
All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our resolution of the certification issue.
