                               IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

                  TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

JEREMY CHAD TURNER,                                       §   APPEAL FROM THE 241ST
APPELLANT

V.                                                        §   JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE                                                  §   SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

                                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                             PER CURIAM
         Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Jeremy Chad Turner pleaded “guilty” to burglary of
a habitation. The trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for fifteen years. Appellant
filed a notice of appeal.
         The clerk’s record has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The record contains the
trial court’s certification, which states that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the Defendant has NO
right to appeal.” The certification further states that Appellant waived the right to appeal. The
certification was signed by Appellant and his counsel. See id. The clerk’s record also contains a
waiver of appeal signed by Appellant, and does not otherwise indicate the trial court gave
Appellant permission to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
         Based on our review of the clerk’s record, the trial court’s certification appears to
accurately state that Appellant does not have the right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d
610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk’s record to
determine whether trial court’s certification is accurate). This Court must dismiss an appeal “if a
certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the
record.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
Opinion delivered November 15, 2017.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
