Ovidiu Tunas v. State ( 2015 )

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS No. 10-15-00137-CR OVIDIU TUNAS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the 54th District Court McLennan County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-18-C2 MEMORANDUM OPINION Ovidiu Tunas appeals at least two counts of a conviction. He has not yet been sentenced on those counts. The notice of appeal reflects that sentencing will not occur until May 21, 2015. There is no final judgment in this proceeding from which to appeal because sentencing has not been pronounced in open court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). And because there is no final judgment, no certification of defendant’s right to appeal has been, and cannot be, prepared by the trial court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). We have no jurisdiction of this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. 1 TOM GRAY Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Scoggins Appeal dismissed Opinion delivered and filed April 23, 2015 Do not publish [CR25] 1 A motion for rehearing may be filed within 15 days after the judgment or order of this Court is rendered.
