IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
HAVEN LANIER HODGES, § APPEAL FROM THE 114TH
APPELLANT
V. § JUDICIALDISTRICT COURT
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery, a first degree felony. In accordance with
the terms of Appellant’s plea agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced Appellant to
imprisonment for fifteen years. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.
We have received the trial court's certification showing that this is a plea bargain case and
Appellant has no right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The certification also states that
Appellant waived her right to appeal. The certification is signed by Appellant and her trial
counsel. The clerk’s record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154
S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex Crim. App. 2005). Therefore, this court does not have jurisdiction of the
appeal, and the appeal must be dismissed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
Opinion delivered December 30, 2015.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
