In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01640-CR
STEVE ACOSTA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-55987-M
ORDER
By letter dated October 2, 2014, the Court notified the trial court that the record does not
contain the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal. The trial court must prepare
an accurate certification in every case in which a defendant appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a),
(d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Therefore, we asked the trial court
to review the record and to file, within ten days, a completed certification of appellant’s right to
appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings. To date, we have not received the
certification of appellant’s right to appeal.
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to prepare and file with this Court, within TEN
DAYS of the date of this order, a certification of appellant’s right to appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons,
Dallas County District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
