ALAN LEE WASHINGTON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-57841-R
ORDER
On November 4, 2014, this Court ordered the trial court to prepare and file, within
fifteen days, a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. To date, we have not received the
certification, nor have we had any communication from the trial court regarding the status of the
certification. The trial court is required to prepare a certification of the right to appeal in every
case in which the defendant is appealing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420
S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013).
Accordingly, we ORDER the Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial
District Court, to prepare and file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, a certification of
appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas
County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
