MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00538-CR
Janette Michelle GAMEZ,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 12, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 392923
Honorable Scott Roberts, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 31, 2012
DISMISSED
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, appellant Janette Michelle Gamez pled guilty to the
offense of misdemeanor theft. The trial court imposed sentence and signed a certificate 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 appellant timely filed a notice of appeal, the clerk sent copies of the
certification and notice of appeal to this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(e). The clerk’s record,
04-12-00538-CR
which includes the plea bargain agreement and the trial court’s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has
been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
The clerk’s record establishes the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the
punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2). After reviewing the clerk’s record, the trial court’s certification therefore appears to
accurately reflect that this is a plea bargain case and appellant does not have a right to appeal.
See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should
review clerk’s record to determine whether trial court’s certification is accurate). This court
must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not
been made part of the record.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
On September 6, 2012. we gave appellant notice that the appeal would be dismissed
unless an amended trial court certification showing she has the right to appeal has been made
part of the appellate record by October 8, 2012. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v.
State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-
CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). An amended
certification showing appellant has the right to appeal has not been filed. We therefore dismiss
this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
