NUMBER 13-02-00693-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
OLIVERIO VILLARREAL, JR., Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 156th District Court of Bee County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Castillo
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
Pursuant to a plea agreement, appellant, Oliverio Villarreal, pleaded guilty to the offense of assault on a public servant. The trial court found appellant guilty and, in accordance with the plea agreement: (1) assessed his punishment at ten years imprisonment and a $1,500 fine, (2) suspended the jail sentence, and (3) placed him on community supervision for ten years. The trial court has certified that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). In a single issue, appellant contends that the trial court’s order committing him to a Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility (SAFPF) as a condition of community supervision constitutes a violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Federal Constitution.
Rule 25.2(a)(2) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that, in a plea bargain case in which the punishment does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or after obtaining the trial court’s permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The record reflects that no written motions were filed and ruled on before trial and the trial court did not grant appellant permission to appeal.
We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court’s certification shows there is no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
