Eddy Lee Kirksey v. State

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00602-CR Eddy Lee KIRKSEY, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 17-1434-CR-C Honorable William Old, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 3, 2018 DISMISSED Appellant, Eddie Lee Kirksey, entered into a plea bargain with the State, pursuant to which he pled guilty to a felony and pled true to an enhancement allegation. As part of the plea bargain, Kirksey waived his right of appeal. The trial court imposed sentence in accordance with the agreement and signed a certificate stating this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Kirksey filed a notice of appeal. The clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s rule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea bargain agreement, has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification 04-18-00602-CR

that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” Id. 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 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication).

The court gave Kirksey notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing he has the right to appeal were made part of the appellate record within thirty days. Kirksey’s appointed appellate counsel filed a notice in this court, stating Kirksey waived his right of appeal and that after reviewing the record, counsel found no right of appeal.

No amended certification has been filed. After reviewing the record and counsel’s notice, we agree appellant does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We therefore dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
