DAVID RODRIGUEZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, State.


Appeal from the 120 District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 20150D03170) ORDER

The Court has reviewed the trial court's certification of the defendant's right to appeal which provides that this is a plea bargain case and the defendant has no right to appeal "as to punishment only." In this case, Appellant was found guilty by a jury but he entered into a plea agreement with the State on punishment. The Court has also reviewed the appellate record from the plea hearing and the parties' letter briefs addressing whether Appellant has a right to appeal. Appellant and the State agree that Appellant has a limited right to appeal. The Court finds that Appellant does not have a right to appeal any matters related to punishment, but he retains the right to appeal issues arising from the pre-trial and jury trial proceedings in cause number 20150D03170. Therefore, the Appellant's brief is now due January 21, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 22 day of December, 2016.

PER CURIAM Before McClure, C.J., Rodriguez and Hughes, JJ.
