NUMBER 13-15-00250-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
RAYLAND LANDON TYNER, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 156th District Court
of Bee County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Rayland Landon Tyner, attempts to appeal his conviction for possession
of a deadly weapon in a penal institution. The trial court has certified that this “is a plea-
bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal” and that appellant “has waived
the right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Moreover, by order signed on May
26, 2015, the trial court denied appellant permission to appeal.
On June 5, 2015, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s
certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether
appellant has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings
as to whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the
existence of any amended certification. Appellant’s counsel responded to this Court’s
notice and stated that, after reviewing her file and the trial court’s record, she did not
believe that appellant had a right to appeal. Counsel’s response does not establish that
the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or that appellant otherwise has
a right to appeal.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed
if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.
See id. R. 25.2(d), 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the 1st
day of September, 2015.
