Johnny Ray Pierce, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE 22ND DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY NOS. CR2021-148, CR2021-443 & CR2021-444 THE HONORABLE STEPHANIE BASCON, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Johnny Ray Pierce seeks to appeal his judgments of conviction for possession of a controlled substance. See Tex. Health & Safety Code § 481.115(b), (c). The State has filed motions to dismiss, asserting that Pierce entered into signed plea agreements with the State in which he waived his right to appeal from the judgments and sentences. We agree.

The trial court has certified that these are plea-bargain cases and that Pierce has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). We therefore grant the State’s motions and dismiss the appeals. See id. R. 25.2(d) (stating that if trial court does not certify that defendant has right to appeal, “appeal must be dismissed”). __________________________________________ Edward Smith, Justice Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Smith Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: July 22, 2022 Do Not Publish
