From the County Court at Law No. 2, Bexar County, Texas

ORDER
On April 18, 2022, we remanded the case to the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing
and:
(1) issue an amended certification; or
(2) if appellant is not entitled to appeal, issue findings of fact and conclusions of law
explaining why appellant is not entitled to an appeal including:
(a) whether the punishment assessed by the court (including the $6,000
miscellaneous traffic fee) exceeded the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and
agreed to by the defendant;
(b) whether the “Judge’s Notes and Annotations” appeared on the Waiver of
Appeal section of the Plea Agreement at the time the defendant, the attorney for the
defendant, and the Assistant District Attorney signed and acknowledged the Plea
Agreement; and
(c) any other issue that is relevant to whether the defendant is entitled to appeal.
In our April 18, 2022 order, we directed the trial court to file either the amended
certification or written findings of fact and conclusions of law with the trial court clerk no later
than April 28, 2022. On April 27, 2022, the trial court requested an extension of time until May
18, 2022. The motion is GRANTED, and the trial court is ORDERED to file either the amended
certification or written findings of fact and conclusions of law with the trial court clerk no later
than May 18, 2022.
We ORDER the trial court clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record in this court no
later than ten days after the trial court files an amended certification or its findings of fact and
conclusions of law explaining why appellant is not entitled to an appeal. We further ORDER the
court reporter to file in this court a supplemental reporter’s record of the hearing, along with
copies of any documentary evidence admitted, no later than twenty days after the date of the
hearing.
All appellate deadlines are ABATED pending further orders from this court.
