In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00755-CR
EX PARTE BENJAMIN BURCH
On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F09-00319-Q
ORDER
On June 12, 2014, this Court ordered that the clerk’s record be filed and that it contain
the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal. Neither the clerk’s record nor the
supplemental clerk’s record filed with the Court contained the certification. Therefore, on July 1,
2014, the Court sent the trial court a letter stating a certification was needed and providing ten
days to file the certification. To date, we have not received the trial court’s certification of
appellant’s right to appeal, which is required to be prepared by the trial court in all cases 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).
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to file, 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 Lena
Levario, Presiding Judge, 204th Judicial District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County
District Clerk; and to counsel for all parties.
