Denell Howell v. the State of Texas

Opinion

In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-23-00247-CR ___________________________ DENELL HOWELL, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS

On Appeal from County Criminal Court No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 1761172

Before Wallach, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Walker, J.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION In accordance with a plea agreement, Appellant Denell Howell pled guilty to driving while intoxicated and received a sentence of 100 days in the Tarrant County Jail, probated for eighteen months. Howell filed a notice of appeal, but the trial court’s certification of Howell’s right to appeal stated that this was a plea-bargain case and that Howell had no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Given that certification, we notified Howell that we would dismiss the appeal unless by October 2, 2023, he or another party filed with this court a response showing grounds for the appeal’s continuation.

We have not received a response. Accordingly, we dismiss Howell’s appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Roberts v. State, 508 S.W.3d 481, 482 (Tex. App.— Fort Worth 2015, no pet.) (mem. op.); see also Gray v. State, No. 02-17-00271-CR, 2017 WL 4296449, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Sept. 28, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication).
