RE: 05-15-00454-CR
Ex parte William Nicholas
Dear Judge Canas:
On May 20, 2015, this Court ordered the trial court to prepare and file a certification of
appellant’s right to appeal. On May 22, 2015, we received a supplemental clerk’s record that
contains a signed certification that is dated May 21, 2015. However, none of the boxes is checked on
the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal. A completed certification is required by
Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420
S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Additionally, the supplemental clerk’s record does not contain
the trial court’s order ruling on appellant’s application for writ of habeas corpus. Therefore, our
order of May 20, 2015 remains in effect. We appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court
