The State of TexasAppellee/s
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
April 4, 2014
No. 04-14-00219-CR
Freddy Earl PERRYMAN,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012CR9136
Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding
O R D E R
Pursuant to a plea-bargain agreement, Freddy Perryman pled nolo contendere to sexual assault of a
child and was sentenced to twelve years in prison in accordance with the terms of his plea-bargain agreement.
On January 28, 2014, the trial court signed a certification of defendant’s right to appeal stating that this “is a
plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). After Perryman
filed a notice of appeal, the trial court clerk sent copies of the certification and notice of appeal to this court.
See id. 25.2(e). The clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed.
See id. 25.2(d).
“In a plea bargain case . . . a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written
motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court’s permission to appeal.” Id. 25.2(a)(2).
The clerk’s record, which contains a written plea bargain, establishes the punishment assessed by the court
does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See id. The
clerk’s record does not include a written motion filed and ruled upon before trial; nor does it indicate that the
trial court gave its permission to appeal. See id. The trial court’s certification, therefore, appears to accurately
reflect that this is a plea-bargain case and that Perryman does not have a right to appeal. We must dismiss an
appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.”
Id. 25.2(d).
This appeal will be dismissed pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d), unless an
amended trial court certification showing that Perryman has the right to appeal is made part of the appellate
record by May 5, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio 2003, order).
We ORDER all appellate deadlines be suspended until further order of the court.
