James Dale Pullin Jr. v. State

    In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-14-00015-CR ____________________ JAMES DALE PULLIN JR., Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 9th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 11-09-09734 CR ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 3, 2013, the trial court sentenced James Dale Pullin Jr. on a conviction for failure to report change of address. On January 6, 2014, Pullin filed a notice of appeal dated January 2, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). 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. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. On January 13, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless 1       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 ________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Opinion Delivered March 12, 2014 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
