Daniel West Rendon v. State

Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-11-00253-CR Daniel West RENDON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010CR10513 Honorable Raymond Angelini, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: May 25, 2011 DISMISSED Appellant Daniel West Rendon pleaded nolo contendere to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. The trial court imposed sentence and signed a certificate stating that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.”

See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal. The clerk’s record, which includes the plea bargain agreement and the trial court’s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has 04-11-00253-CR

been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” Id. The court gave appellant notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing he has the right to appeal was made part of the appellate record within thirty days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (Jul. 2, 2003, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). Appellant’s appointed appellate counsel filed a written response, stating she has reviewed the record and can find no right of appeal. After reviewing the record and counsel’s notice, we agree that appellant does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk’s record to determine whether trial court’s certification is accurate). We therefore dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
