Jakroi Allen Banks v. State ( 2018 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
December 5, 2018
No. 04-18-00908-CR
Jakroi Allen BANKS,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017CR0571
Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant, Jakroi Allen Banks, entered into a plea bargain with the State, and pled guilty
to aggravated kidnapping. The trial court subsequently imposed sentence in accordance with the
agreement and signed a certificate stating this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO
right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Banks timely filed a notice of appeal. The
clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s rule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea
bargain agreement, has been filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an
appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part
of the record.” Id.
Banks is given notice that this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) of the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless an amended certification showing that Banks has the
right to appeal is made part of the appellate record by December 27, 2018, or Banks responds to
this order by that date, establishing the trial court’s certification is defective.
