Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-19-00047-CR
Marcus Allen HODGE,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019CR0247W
Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 27, 2019
DISMISSED
The trial court’s certification in this appeal states “this criminal case is a plea-bargain case,
and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain, and
the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and
agreed to by the defendant; Rule 25.2(a)(2) applies. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
This court must dismiss this appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has a right
of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” Id. R. 25.2(d); see Chavez v.
State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
04-19-00047-CR
On February 4, 2019, we notified Appellant that this appeal would be dismissed under Rule
25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification showing that Appellant has the right of appeal
was made part of the appellate record by March 6, 2019. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see
also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d
174, 176 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.).
On February 28, 2019, Appellant’s court-appointed appellate counsel conceded that this
court has no choice but to dismiss this appeal.
Considering Rule 25.2(d)’s requirements, the record, and Appellant’s response, we dismiss
this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613.
