In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-23-00235-CR __________________ RICKY WAYNE BECKETT, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. F21-38414 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 2, 2022, the trial court sentenced Ricky Wayne Beckett on an indictment for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On July 10, 2023, Beckett, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal. The District Clerk then sent Becket’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s certification to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court’s certification shows that Beckett waived his right of appeal, that this is a plea-bargain case, and that Beckett has no right to appeal. 1 On July 17, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established the trial court’s certification was incorrect. None of the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Because the record lacks a certification that shows Beckett has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. 1 APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on August 29, 2023 Opinion Delivered August 30, 2023 Do Not Publish Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Wright, JJ. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). We also note that it appears that Beckett filed a notice too late to perfect an appeal. See id. 26.2, 26.3. 2 1
