TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-16-00102-CR Miguel Medina Pastenes, Appellant v. State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 15-1167-CC2, HONORABLE DAVID HODGES, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Miguel Medina Pastenes seeks to appeal the trial court’s order denying his application for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.072, § 8. However, the clerk’s record does not contain the necessary trial court certification of Pastenes’s right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2) (requiring trial court to enter certification of defendant’s right of appeal “each time it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order”), (d) (requiring record to include trial court’s certification). Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the trial court for entry of a certification of Pastenes’s right of appeal from the order denying habeas corpus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), 44.4. A supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s certification shall be filed with this Court no later than March 17, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2). It is ordered on February 15, 2017. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Bourland Abated and Remanded Filed: February 15, 2017 Do Not Publish 2
