COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
RONALD CHRISTOPHER GABRIEL,
Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee.
On appeal from the 130th District Court
of Matagorda County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Ronald Christopher Gabriel, attempts to appeal convictions for
possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of a firearm by
felon. The trial court has certified in both cases that this Ais a plea-bargain case, and the
defendant has NO right of appeal.@ See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On August 4, 2011, this Court notified appellant=s counsel of the trial court=s
certifications and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether
appellant has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel=s findings
as to whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the
existence of any amended certifications.
On August 31, 2011, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.
Counsel=s
response does not establish that the certifications currently on file with this Court are
incorrect or that appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be
dismissed if the trial court=s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of
appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, these
appeals are DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
29th day of September, 2011.
