                                   COURT OF APPEALS
                                EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                                     EL PASO, TEXAS
                                           §

 DAVID RODRIGUEZ,                               §               No. 08-16-00113-CR

                      Appellant,                §                 Appeal from the

 v.                                             §                120th District Court

 THE STATE OF TEXAS,                            §             of El Paso County, Texas

                       State.                   §               (TC# 20150D03170)

                                             §
                                           ORDER

       The Court has reviewed the trial court’s certification of the defendant’s right to appeal

which provides that this is a plea bargain case and the defendant has no right to appeal “as to

punishment only.” In this case, Appellant was found guilty by a jury but he entered into a plea

agreement with the State on punishment. The Court has also reviewed the appellate record from

the plea hearing and the parties’ letter briefs addressing whether Appellant has a right to appeal.

Appellant and the State agree that Appellant has a limited right to appeal. The Court finds that

Appellant does not have a right to appeal any matters related to punishment, but he retains the

right to appeal issues arising from the pre-trial and jury trial proceedings in cause number

20150D03170. Therefore, the Appellant’s brief is now due January 21, 2017.

       IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day of December, 2016.
