COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER OF ABATEMENT Appellate case name: Jared Patton Roark v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-19-00428-CR Trial court case number: C-1-CR-16-216594 Trial court: County Court at Law No. 7 of Travis County The Clerk of the Court has examined the clerk’s record filed in this appeal and found that the clerk’s record does not include a copy of the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2), 34.5(a)(12). 37.1. An appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal is not part of the record. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 613 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). However, the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure prohibit us from dismissing an appeal based on the lack of a valid certification when we determine that an appellant may have a right of appeal. See id. 25.2(f), 34.5(c)(2), 37.1, 44.4.

Accordingly, we abate the appeal and remand the case to the trial court for the trial court to prepare and execute a Certification of Appellant’s Right to Appeal that complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d). See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1, 44.4.

The trial court clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing the certification of appellant’s right of appeal no later than 30 days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c)(2).

The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court’s active docket.

It is so ORDERED.
