Martinez, Chief Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice Delivered and Filed: February 17, 2021 APPEAL DISMISSED On February 1, 2021, the court ordered appellant, David Rivera Cortez, to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed. On February 4, 2021, Cortez’s appointed counsel filed a response conceding that the trial court (1) ruled on no written motions before it took the parties’ negotiated plea agreement under advisement on March 2, 2020; (2) later followed this plea agreement on November 13, 2020; and (3) has since steadfastly refused to grant appellant any 04-20-00612-CR
