Quentin Rios v. State

Opinion

NUMBERS 13-13-00178-CR AND 13-13-00179-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

QUENTIN RIOS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam Appellant, Quenton Rios, attempts to appeal convictions for burglary of a habitation. The trial court has certified in these cases that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On April 4, 2013, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s certifications and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether appellant has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings as to whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the existence of any amended certifications.

On May 21, 2013, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response does not establish that the certifications currently on file with this Court are incorrect or that appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.

The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, these appeals are DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM Do not publish.

TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the 13th day of June, 2013.
