MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00547-CR Jaime Pineda FLECHAS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012CR3101 Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 24, 2012 DISMISSED Jaime Pineda Flechas entered into a plea bargain with the State, pursuant to which Flechas pleaded nolo contendere to driving while intoxicated. The trial court imposed sentence in accordance with the 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). Flechas 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 Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). 04-12-00547-CR The clerk s record establishes the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. The reporter s record reflects the trial court expressly denied permission to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). We have reviewed the record, and the trial court s certification appears to accurately state that this is a plea bargain case and Flechas 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). 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. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). On August 31, 2012, we gave Flechas notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing he has the right to appeal has been made part of the appellate record by October 1, 2012. 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) (not designated for publication). An amended certification showing Flechas has the right to appeal has not been filed. We therefore dismiss this appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
