Appeal from the 243rd District Court of El Paso County, Texas, (Tc# 49682).
Before BARAJAS, C.J., McCLURE, and CHEW, JJ.
OPINION
Appellant Teodoro Holguin attempts to appeal from a renewal order for extended mental health services. Finding that Appellant has not complied with Rule 25.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we dismiss the appeal. Rule 25.2 governs the defendant's right to appeal in a criminal case. See TEX.R.APP.P. 25.2. Appellant's notice of appeal did not contain the trial court's certification of the defendant's right of appeal as required by TEX.R.APP.P. 25.2(a)(2) and 25.2(d). This Court notified Appellant on August 15, 2005, that a certification had not been filed and requested that Appellant file an amended notice of appeal within thirty days or the appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) without further written notice. See TEX.R.APP.P. 25.2(d) ("The appeal must be dismissed if a certifications that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules."). As of this date, Appellant has not filed an amended notice of appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
