Anthony Jermaine Mallard v. State

NO. 12-15-00012-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS ANTHONY JERMAINE MALLARD, § APPEAL FROM THE 188TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § GREGG COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Appellant was convicted of sexual assault of a child and sentenced to imprisonment for five years. On January 16, 2015, he filed a notice of appeal. We have received the appellate record. The clerk’s record includes the trial court’s certification that “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The reporter’s record shows that, after sentence was imposed, Appellant waived his right to appeal in open court. On June 18, 2015, we notified Appellant that the trial court’s certification stated he had waived the right to appeal. Additionally, we warned that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or before June 29, 2015, a trial court certification showing Appellant’s right to appeal was filed in this court. No response has been filed. Because the trial court’s certification affirmatively shows that Appellant has waived the right to appeal, and the record supports the trial court’s certification, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). Opinion delivered July 8, 2015. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
