Larry Shawn Myers v. State

Opinion

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana ______________________________ No. 06-10-00079-CR ______________________________

LARRY SHAWN MYERS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Sixth Judicial District Court Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 23413

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Larry Shawn Myers has filed a pro se notice of appeal from his conviction for indecency with a child by contact. On our review of the clerk’s record, we noted that the trial court’s certification of right of appeal stated that this was a plea agreement case and that Myers has no right of appeal.

Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record, we must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).

Because the trial court’s certification affirmatively shows Myers has no right of appeal, and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal.

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
