NUMBER 13-23-00409-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

MARIO NEWMAN, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 214th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a judgment in trial court case number 20FC-4735F. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Upon review of the documents filed, the trial court has certified that this “is a plea- bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On September 19, 2023, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. On September 25, 2023, appellant’s counsel responded concluding that appellant has not retained a right to appeal.

The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3. Accordingly, this case is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
