SAUL GALVAN, APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 4
Travis County, Texas
Trial Court No. 12-400-293, Honorable Mike Denton, Presiding
March 8, 2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Pursuant to a plea agreement, Appellant, Saul Galvan, was convicted of assault
family violence 1 and sentenced to ten days in the Travis County Jail. Appellant filed a
pro se notice of appeal challenging his conviction. The Trial Court’s Certification of
Defendant’s Right of Appeal reflects that Appellant’s case is a plea-bargain case from
which he has no right of appeal. By letter dated January 31, 2013, this Court notified
1
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1) (W EST SUPP. 2012).
Appellant of the consequences of his certification and invited him to either file an
amended certification showing a right of appeal or demonstrate other grounds for
continuing the appeal on or before February 20, 2013. Appellant was also notified that
failure to do so might result in dismissal of the appeal pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) of the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Appellant did not respond.
Because neither an amended certification reflecting a right of appeal was filed
nor good cause for continuing the appeal provided, this appeal is dismissed based on
the certification signed by the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
