Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00784-CR
Edwin Lalo OCHOA,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2012CR2041B
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 6, 2013
DISMISSED
On January 24, 2013, we notified the appellant that 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.” Additionally, the clerk’s record contains a written waiver signed by the appellant
pursuant to which he entered a plea of nolo contendere. The trial court’s judgment also shows
that there was a plea bargain agreement, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the
punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. Therefore, the trial
04-12-00784-CR
court’s certification accurately reflects that this criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
In our January 24, 2013 order, we warned the appellant that “[this] appeal must be
dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made
part of the record under these rules.” See id. R. 25.2(d). We ordered that this appeal would be
dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless the appellant caused an amended trial court
certification to be filed by February 25, 2013 that showed the appellant has the right of appeal.
See id. R. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006);
Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 176 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). No response
was filed. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
