Omar Gerardo v. State

    In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-13-00379-CR ____________________ OMAR GERARDO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 75th District Court Liberty County, Texas Trial Cause No. CR 30247 ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 14, 2013, the trial court accepted Omar Gerardo’s guilty plea to burglary of a habitation, deferred adjudication of guilt, and signed a community supervision order. On July 15, 2013, Gerardo filed a motion for new trial, which the trial court denied in a written order signed on August 9, 2013. Gerardo filed a notice of appeal on August 12, 2013. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 1       25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. On March 5, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. Because the trial court’s certification shows the defendant does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Opinion Delivered April 9, 2014 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
