Isidro Juan Flores v. State ( 2016 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
December 29, 2016
No. 04-16-00804-CR
Isidro Juan FLORES,
Appellant
v.
The State of TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016CR5527
Honorable Ron Rangel, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Isidro Juan Flores entered into a plea bargain with the State, pursuant to which Flores
pleaded nolo contendere to sexual assault of a child. The trial court imposed sentence in
accordance with the agreement and signed a certificate stating this “is a plea-bargain case, and
the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Flores timely filed a
notice of appeal. The clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s rule 25.2(a)(2) certification
and a written plea bargain agreement, has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). 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.” Id.
The clerk’s record establishes the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the
punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2). The record also appears to support the trial court’s certification that Flores does not
have a 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).
Flores is hereby given notice that this appeal will be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) of
the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless an amended certification showing that he has the
right to appeal is made part of the appellate record by January 19, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(d); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on
merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref’d) (not designated for
publication).
We order all appellate deadlines suspended until further order of the court. We further
order the clerk of this court to serve copies of this order on the attorneys of record and the court
reporter.
