Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-25-00104-CR

Chance A. Harrison, Sr., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE 27TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. FR83135, THE HONORABLE JOHN GAUNTT, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Chance A. Harrison, Sr., was convicted of murder and seeks to appeal the trial court’s judgment of conviction. See Tex. Penal Code § 19.02. The trial court has certified that this is a plea-bargain case and that Harrison has no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. R. 25.2(d) (providing that if trial court does not certify that defendant has right to appeal, appeal “must be dismissed”); see also Neal v. State, Nos. 03-21-00112—00113-CR, 2021 WL 1312590, at *1 (Tex. App.—Austin Apr. 8, 2021, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (dismissing appeal for lack of jurisdiction where trial court certified that case was plea-bargain case and that defendant had no right to appeal). __________________________________________ Karin Crump, Justice Before Justices Triana, Theofanis, and Crump Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: March 21, 2025 Do Not Publish
