                               COURT OF APPEALS

                       THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                         CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

LEONARDO VILLARREAL
MORENO,                                                                      Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 139th District Court
                          of Hidalgo County, Texas.

                                      ORDER
  Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez, and Longoria
                          Order Per Curiam

       Appellant, Leonardo Villarreal Moreno, has filed a notice of appeal with this Court

from his conviction in trial court cause number CR-4393-12-C(T). The trial court’s

certification of the defendant’s right to appeal shows that the defendant does not have

the right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that a

defendant has a right of appeal is not made a part of the record. TEX. R. APP. P.

25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4.
       Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, appellant’s lead appellate counsel, O.

Rene Flores, is hereby ORDERED to: 1) review the record; 2) determine whether

appellant has a right to appeal; and 3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings

as to whether appellant has a right to appeal and/or advise this Court as to the

existence of any amended certification.

       If appellant’s counsel determines that appellant has a right to appeal, counsel is

further ORDERED to file a motion with this Court within thirty days of receipt of this

notice, identifying and explaining substantive reasons why appellant has a right to

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3, 44.4; see also, e.g., Carroll v. State, No. 04-03-

00473-CR, 2003 Tex. App. LEXIS 7317 (San Antonio 2003, no pet.) (designated for

publication) (certification form provided in appendix to appellate rules may be modified

to reflect that defendant has right of appeal under circumstances not addressed by the

form). The motion must include an analysis of the applicable case law, and any factual

allegations therein must be true and supported by the record. Cf. Woods v. State, 108

S.W.3d 314, 316 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003) (construing former appellate rule 25.2(b)(3)

and holding that recitations in the notice of appeal must be true and supported by the

record). Copies of record documents necessary to evaluate the alleged error in the

certification affecting appellant’s right to appeal shall be attached to the motion. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, 10.2.

Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

1st day of April 2015.
