James Baldwin, Jr. v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 25th Judicial District Court of Guadalupe County

Annotate this Case
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-03-00290-CR
James BALDWIN,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
Trial Court No. 01-0841-CR
Honorable Dwight E. Peschel, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 29, 2003

DISMISSED

The trial court signed a certification of defendant's right to appeal in this case stating that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2)."In a plea bargain case ... a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to appeal." Id. We 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. 25.2(d).

We, therefore, warned appellant that this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d), unless an amended trial court certification showing that appellant had the right to appeal was made part of the appellate record by August 8, 2003. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, order). No such amended trial court certification has been filed. This appeal is, therefore, dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d).
