Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-13-00781-CR Tawana JOHNSON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013CR2756 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 31, 2013 DISMISSED The trial court s certification in this appeal states that this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal. The clerk s record contains a written plea bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court s certification accurately reflects that the underlying case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). 04-13-00781-CR Under Rule 25.2(d), this appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). On November 13, 2013, we notified Appellant that this appeal would be dismissed under Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification showing that Appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record by December 13, 2013. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 176 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2003, no pet.). To date, no response has been filed. Absent an amended trial court certification showing that Appellant has the right of appeal, Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. See Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613; Daniels, 110 S.W.3d at 176. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
