COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
ROBERT ALLEN BOYDEN JR., Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 156th District Court
of Bee County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Hinojosa
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
Appellant, Robert Allen Boyden Jr., attempts to appeal convictions for theft. The
trial court has certified in these cases that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant
has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On February 27, 2019, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s
certifications 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 certifications.
On May 1, 2019, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response
does not establish that the certifications currently on file with this Court are 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.
TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, these appeals
are DISMISSED.
LETICIA HINOJOSA
Justice
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
9th day of May, 2019.
