Roberto Degollado v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-20-00007-CR

Roberto Degollado, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE 427TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-DC-18-200831, THE HONORABLE TAMARA NEEDLES, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Roberto Degollado was indicted for the first-degree felony offense of murder after stabbing his live-in girlfriend to death in front of her two minor sons. See Tex. Penal Code § 19.02(b), (c). Degollado pleaded guilty and seeks to appeal his murder conviction. However, the trial court has certified that Degollado waived the right of appeal, and the record of Degollado’s plea-and-sentencing hearing supports the trial court’s certification. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).
