COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JOASH SOLIS, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 329th District Court
of Wharton County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Joash Solis, attempts to appeal his conviction for assault. The trial
court has 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).
On August 13, 2013, we ordered appellant's counsel to, within thirty days, review
the record and advise this Court as to whether appellant has a right to appeal. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 44.3, 44.4. Counsel did not respond and the case was abated and remanded
to the trial court on August 30, 2013. On September 24, 2013, the trial court issued
findings of fact and conclusions of law that appellant has waived his right to appeal. This
appeal is hereby REINSTATED.
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. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
7th day of November, 2013.
