Carla Deann Rolla appeals an order revoking community supervision. The record does not contain the trial court's certification of the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has notified this Court that the trial court refuses to prepare a certification because "the certification is not required in [revocation] cases."

Rule 25.2(a)(2) states: "The trial court shall enter a certification of the defendant's right of appeal each time it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order." (Emphasis added.) An order revoking community supervision is an appealable order.

The appeal is abated. The trial court is ordered to prepare and file the certification of Rolla's right of appeal as required by rule 25.2(a)(2). A supplemental clerk's record containing the court's certification shall be tendered for filing no later than fifteen days from the date of this opinion. See Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(2), 37.1.
