                            Fourth Court of Appeals
                                   San Antonio, Texas
                                       December 14, 2018

                                       No. 04-18-00910-CR

                                   Jermaine Thomas WITTY,
                                           Appellant

                                                 v.

                                      The STATE of Texas,
                                            Appellee

                  From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2017CR13722
                         Honorable Mark R. Luitjen, Judge Presiding


                                         ORDER
        The trial court’s certification in this appeal states “this criminal case is a plea-bargain
case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” 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 the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately
reflects that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d)
of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides: “The appeal must be dismissed if a
certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record
under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal will be
dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless appellant
causes an amended trial court certification to be filed within ten (10) days of the date of this
order showing appellant has the right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Dears
v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex.
App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our
resolution of the certification issue.
