NUMBER 13-14-00276-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JAMES YOUNG, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On Appeal from the 130th District Court
of Matagorda County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, James Young, attempts to appeal a conviction for aggravated assault.
The trial court has certified that “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.” See TEX.
R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On May 14, 2014, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s
certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether
appellant has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings
as to whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the
existence of any amended certification.
On May 19, 2014, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response
does not establish: (1) that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect,
or (2) that appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed
if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.
TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is
DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
29th day of May, 2014.
