Appellant, David Sanchez Rocha, filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal the

to provide a copy of the certification of the defendant’s right of appeal to this Court. TEX.
R. APP. P. 25.2(e). On July 7, 2021 and July 21, 2021 the Clerk of the Court sent a request
for the status of the certificate to the trial court and trial court clerk. To date, we have not
received a status or a copy of the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal.
However, if a trial court certification has not been signed and entered, the trial court
shall immediately issue notice of a hearing and accordingly conduct a hearing addressing
the foregoing matter. We further direct that, after conducting the hearing, the trial court
certify whether appellant has the right of appeal and shall cause such certification to be
filed with the Clerk of the Court within thirty days of this order. Should the trial court require
more time to comply with the directions of this Court, it shall request an extension prior to
the expiration of this deadline.
