Rosanna Marie MORALES, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-CR-8622 Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
On December 15, 2021, appellant Rosanna Marie Morales was convicted of the offense of altering, destroying, or concealing a human corpse and sentenced pursuant to a plea agreement. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.09(c). On January 14, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal. The trial court's certification in this appeal states that this criminal case, "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal" and "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, "The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules." Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless appellant causes an amended trial court certification to be filed within thirty days from the date of this order, showing appellant has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App-San Antonio 2003, no pet.). All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our resolution of the certification issue.
