Alejandro Esparza v. State ( 2018 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
March 29, 2018
No. 04-18-00152-CR
Alejandro ESPARZA,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 83rd Judicial District Court, Val Verde County, Texas
Trial Court No. 13503CR
Honorable Robert Cadena, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The trial court’s certifications in these appeals state “this criminal case is a plea-bargain
case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s records contain a written plea
bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the
prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; Rule 25.2(a)(2) applies. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2).
This court must dismiss these appeals “if a certification that shows the defendant has a
right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” Id. R. 25.2(d); see
Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
We ORDER Appellant to cause an amended trial court certification to be filed in this
court for each appeal within THIRTY days of the date of this order showing Appellant has the
right of appeal in each case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154
S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
2003, no pet.). If no amended trial court certifications are filed as ordered, these appeals will be
dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court.
