Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-15-00385-CR Raymond ZAPATA, Appellant v. The State of TexasAppellee The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014CR6346 Honorable Steve Hilbig, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 29, 2015 APPEAL DISMISSED Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, defendant pled guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced within the terms of the plea bargain. The trial court signed a certification of defendant’s right to appeal 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). Rule 25.2(d) provides, “The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, on July 16, 2015, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court 04-15-00385-CR certification that shows defendant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1. On July 20, 2015, defendant’s appellate counsel filed a response to our order stating he was “compelled to concede that [defendant] has no right of appeal from the underlying criminal case” and that this court “may dismiss this appeal for that reason.” In light of the record presented, we agree with defendant’s counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. PER CURIAM Do not publish -2-
