The State of TexasAppellee
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
Thursday, April 9, 2015
No. 04-15-00177-CR and 04-15-00178-CR
Daniel Martinez a/k/a Daniel RAMIREZ,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014CR2985
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The trial court’s certification in each of these appeals states that “this criminal case is a
plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record in each appeal
contains a written plea bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment
recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s
certification in each appeal accurately reflects that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides,
“The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal
has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). It is therefore
ORDERED that these appeals will be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure unless appellant causes an amended trial court certification to be filed in
each appeal by May 7, 2015, showing appellant has the right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v.
State,110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). All other appellate deadlines are
SUSPENDED pending our resolution of the certification issue.
