Melissa K. Polinard v. State ( 2002 )

Melissa K. Polinard v. State

  IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-02-085-CR

     MELISSA K. POLINARD,

                                                                              Appellant

     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                                                              Appellee

From the 249th District Court

Johnson County, Texas

Trial Court # F35250

MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Melissa Polinard pleaded guilty to possession of less than one gram of psilocybin. Pursuant to the State’s plea recommendation, the court deferred an adjudication of Polinard’s guilt and placed her on unadjudicated community supervision for a period of five years. Polinard filed a general notice of appeal.

      To properly invoke the jurisdiction of this Court over an appeal from a negotiated guilty plea, an appellant must file a notice of appeal which complies with Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3). See White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 429 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Vidaurri v. State, 49 S.W.3d 880, 882-83 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (Rule 25.2(b)(3) applies to appeal from order placing defendant on deferred adjudication community supervision); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Polinard’s general notice of appeal does not comply with Rule 25.2(b)(3). Accordingly, we dismiss Polinard’s appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                               PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Davis,

      Justice Vance, and

      Justice Gray
