Joe Luis Valencia v. State

Opinion

Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed May 23, 2013.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-13-00339-CR JOE LUIS VALENCIA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 208th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1360422 MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered a guilty plea to driving while intoxicated, third offense. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant on March 18, 2013, to confinement for fifteen years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal. We dismiss the appeal.

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2005).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
