John Gabriel CASTILLO,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court Nos. 2017CR7236, 2019CR2596, & 2019CR2597
The Honorable Stephanie R. Boyd, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant John Gabriel Castillo filed notices of appeal for trial court causes which were
assigned appeals numbered as follows:
Trial Court Cause Appeal Number
2017CR7236 04-19-00255-CR
2019CR2596 04-19-00258-CR
2019CR2597 04-19-00259-CR
The clerk’s record in each appeal shows the underlying causes were taken into
consideration in Appellant’s plea bargain, no final judgment or trial court certification was
signed, and each cause was dismissed.
The clerk’s records do not appear to contain an appealable judgment or order. See TEX.
CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 44.02 (authorizing a defendant in a criminal action to appeal);
Abbott v. State, 271 S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (reiterating that the right to appeal
under article 44.02 is limited to appeal from a final judgment).
We ORDER Appellant to show cause in writing not later than TWENTY DAYS from the
date of this order why these appeals should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Abbott,
271 S.W.3d at 697 n.8. If Appellant fails to show cause in writing as ordered, these appeals will
be dismissed. See id.
All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court.
