Armando Ramos v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas December 9, 2019 No. 04-19-00709-CR Armando RAMOS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018CR6442 Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding ORDER Appellant Armando Ramos entered into a plea bargain with the State pursuant to which he pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated. The trial court imposed sentence in accordance with the agreement and signed a certificate stating this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal, and the district clerk filed a copy of the clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s rule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea bargain agreement. See id. R. 25.2(d). We must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” Id. Here, the clerk’s record establishes the punishment assessed by the trial court does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See id. R. 25.2(a)(2). The record also supports the trial court’s certification that appellant does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk’s record to determine whether trial court’s certification is accurate). Accordingly, appellant is given notice that this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless an amended certification showing that appellant has the right to appeal is made part of the appellate record by or before January 8, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). We ORDER all appellate deadlines are suspended until further order of the court. We further ORDER the clerk of this court to serve copies of this order on the attorneys of record and the court reporter. _________________________________ Beth Watkins, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 9th day of December, 2019. ___________________________________ MICHAEL A.
