Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-13-00580-CR
Fernando DIAZ,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012CR6800A
Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 23, 2013
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).

Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states “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).
On September 11, 2013, we ordered that this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to rule
25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification showing that the appellant has the right of appeal
was made part of the appellate record by October 11, 2013. 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.). No response was filed.
In the absence of an amended trial court certification showing that the appellant has the
right of appeal, Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is
dismissed.
