SARA PEUTTUS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.


Do not publish. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On appeal from the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas.

Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Tijerina

MEMORANDUM OPINION

GINA M. BENAVIDES Justice

Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal an order entered in trial court cause number B-21-2128-0-CR-B. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Upon review of the documents filed, the trial court has certified that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal" without permission of the Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). On March 24, 2022, the Court ordered appellant's counsel to review the record and determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. In response, appellant's counsel filed a letter indicating appellant agreed to a plea bargain and does not have the right to appeal this case.

The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial court's certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal. Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d); see Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
