JODY FORD MCCREARY, APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 7TH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant, Jody Ford McCreary, has filed a notice of appeal expressing his intent to appeal the trial court's "admonishment error" relating to his 2011 conviction for tampering with physical evidence. Appellant previously attempted to appeal this conviction, but his notice of appeal was late, and the appeal was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See McCreary v. State, No. 12-11-00311-CR, 2011 WL 4971606 (Tex. App.-Tyler Oct. 19, 2011, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op., not designated for publication).
On June 26, 2014, this court notified Appellant that the information filed in this appeal does not include a final judgment or other appealable order. Appellant was warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or before July 25, 2014, the information is amended to show the jurisdiction of this court.
In his response to our June 26, 2014 letter, Appellant attached a copy of the trial court's certification signed by Appellant and his counsel in 2011. This certification shows that the "criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has no right of appeal." Appellant has also included a pro se document that he identifies as a notice of amendment or supplementation to the trial court's certification. In this document, he states that the trial court made an "admonishment error" during his plea proceedings, that his conviction is void, and that he has the right to appeal. This document is insufficient to show the jurisdiction of this court. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Opinion delivered July 9, 2014. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
