JOEL RAMIREZ, JR., APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 64th District Court
Hale County, Texas
Trial Court No. A19222-1208; Honorable Robert W. Kinkaid, Jr., Presiding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
Appellant, Joel Ramirez, Jr., was convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm and sentenced to four years confinement and a $2,000 fine. The Trial Court's Certification of Defendant's Right of Appeal reflects that Appellant's case is a plea bargain case from which he has no right of appeal. The certification notwithstanding, Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 46.04(a) (West 2011).
By letter dated August 8, 2013, this Court notified Appellant of the consequences of the certification and invited him to either file an amended certification showing a right of appeal or demonstrate other grounds for continuing the appeal on or before August 28, 2013.
Appellant did not file a response. Because he has failed to file an amended certification showing a right of appeal and did not demonstrate grounds for continuing this appeal, we have no alternative but to dismiss this appeal based on the certification signed by the trial court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
