                           Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                         April 7, 2015

                                     No. 04-15-00200-CR

                                    Monte Lorre BARRON,
                                          Appellant

                                               v.

                                  THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                        Appellee

                  From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2014CR4567
                        Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding


                                        ORDER
        Defendant pled nolo contendre to indecency by contact with a child and was sentenced
within the terms of a plea bargain. Defendant timely filed a general notice of appeal. After the
trial court rendered its Order of Deferred Adjudication, the court signed a Certification of
Defendant’s Right of Appeal stating this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right
of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain,
and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and
agreed to by defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately reflects that
defendant’s case is a plea bargain case and defendant does not have a right of appeal. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

        “In a plea bargain case . . . a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were
raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's
permission to appeal.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk’s record does not contain a written
motion ruled on before trial nor does it indicate the trial court granted defendant permission to
appeal. This court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the
right of appeal has not been made a part of the record.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).

        It is therefore ORDERED this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 25.2(d), unless an amended trial court certification that shows defendant has
the right of appeal has been made part of the appellate record by May 6, 2015. See Daniels v.
State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1.
         All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our resolution of the certification
issue.
