Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-14-00066-CR
Jesse Joe SALINAS,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 218th Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12-11-00098-CRK
Honorable Stella Saxon, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 9, 2014
DISMISSED
The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain
case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record 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 accurately reflects that the
underlying case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

Under Rule 25.2(d), this “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).
On February 13, 2014, we notified Appellant that this appeal would be dismissed under
Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification showing that Appellant has the right of
appeal was made part of the appellate record by March 17, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d),
37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110
S.W.3d 174, 176 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). On March 25, 2014, Appellant filed a
motion to dismiss his court-appointed counsel and to grant his previous pro se motions this court
earlier denied based on hybrid representation, but he did not file an amended trial court
certification. Appellant’s motions are denied.
Absent an amended trial court certification showing that Appellant has the right of appeal,
Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. See Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613; Daniels,
110 S.W.3d at 176. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
