       RE:      Court of Appeals Number: 05-18-00013-CR
                Trial Court Case Number:   F14-70834-P
                Style: Kevin Dwayne Jefferson v. The State of Texas

       Dear Judge Hawthorne:

               After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court notes that it does not contain the trial court’s
       certification of appellant’s right to appeal the December 18, 2017 judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P.
       25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). Therefore, please file,
       within TEN DAYS of the date of the letter, a completed certification that accurately reflects the
       trial court proceedings. We appreciate your attention to this matter.




                                              Respectfully,

                                              /s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court

       LM/cg
