In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana ______________________________ No. 06-11-00122-CR ______________________________ VINSON LARRY BRUCE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 102nd Judicial District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 09F0385-102 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Vinson Larry Bruce has filed pro se a notice of appeal from his conviction of aggravated robbery. On our review of the clerk s record, we noted that the trial court s certification of right of appeal stated that this was a plea agreement case and that Bruce has no right of appeal. Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record, we must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Because the trial court s certification affirmatively shows Bruce has no right of appeal, and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: July 18, 2011 July 19, 2011 Do Not Publish 2
