VINCENT RAY JOHNSON A/K/A APPELLANT
VINCENT JOHNSON
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
----------
FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. 1430822D
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Pursuant to a plea-bargain agreement and a judicial confession in which
appellant Vincent Ray Johnson a/k/a Vincent Johnson admitted that he
committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the trial court convicted him
of that offense and sentenced him to ten years’ confinement. See Tex. Penal
Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (West 2011). The trial court signed a document
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
certifying that appellant had entered into a plea bargain and that he had “NO right
of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant and his attorney also
signed that document. Nonetheless, appellant brought this appeal.
We sent appellant a letter in which we reminded him of the trial court’s
certification and stated that unless he showed grounds for continuing the appeal,
we could dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Appellant responded to our letter,
but the response does not show adequate grounds for continuing the appeal.
Because a certification that shows that appellant has the right of appeal has not
been made a part of the record, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App.
2006).
