Juan SOSA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee


MEMORANDUM OPINION

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017CR0068
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice DISMISSED

Juan Sosa pled nolo contendere to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The trial court imposed sentence and signed a certificate stating that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." Sosa timely filed a notice of appeal. The clerk's record, which includes the plea bargain agreement and the trial court's Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an appeal "if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record." Id.

On April 6, 2017, the court gave Sosa notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing he has the right to appeal were made part of the appellate record by May 1, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref'd) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Sosa did not file a response. After reviewing the record, we conclude Sosa does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk's record to determine whether trial court's certification is accurate). We therefore dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
