i i i i i i MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00262-CR Anthony Obrian DAVIS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 08-0914-CR Honorable Dwight E. Peschel, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: June 2, 2010 DISMISSED Anthony O. Davis pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The trial court imposed sentence in accordance with Davis s plea bargain agreement and signed a certificate stating this is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal. See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(a)(2). Davis timely filed a notice of appeal. The clerk s record, which includes the trial court s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea bargain agreement, has been filed. See 04-10-00262-CR 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. 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. TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk s record establishes this is a plea bargain case the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk s record does not include a written motion filed and ruled upon before trial and it reflects the trial court denied permission to appeal. The trial court s certification therefore appears to accurately reflect that this is a plea bargain case and Davis 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). The court gave Davis 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. No amended certification showing Davis has the right to appeal has been filed. We therefore dismiss this appeal. TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d). PER CURIAM Do not publish -2-
