Steven Robles v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 12, 2019 No. 04-19-00424-CR Steven ROBLES, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017CR7479 Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding ORDER The trial court imposed sentence in Cause No. 2017CR7479 on August 23, 2018. Because appellant did not file a motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on September 22, 2018. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due on October 7, 2018. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. On May 16, 2019, appellant filed a Motion for Leave to File a Late Notice of Appeal, and on June 17, 2019, appellant filed a Notice of Appeal from Negotiated Plea. Because appellant did not timely file a notice of appeal or timely file a motion for extension of time, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). [1] We, therefore, ORDER appellant to show cause on or before July 29, 2019 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. [1] We also note the trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “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; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately reflects that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, “The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). _________________________________ Irene Rios, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 12th day of July, 2019. ___________________________________ KEITH E.
