Manuel Moreno v. State ( 2014 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00022-CR
Manuel Moreno, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-DC-10-300666, HONORABLE KAREN R. SAGE, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In June 2012, appellant pled guilty to two counts of indecency and was placed
on five years’ deferred adjudication. In December 2013, the trial court signed two judgments
adjudicating appellant’s guilt and sentencing him to five and nine years’ imprisonment. Appellant
timely filed a notice of appeal, and the trial court signed a certification of appellant’s right to
appeal stating that this is a plea-bargain case and that appellant has no right to appeal. The record
does not support the certification, however. See Hargesheimer v. State, 182 S.W.3d 906, 911-13
(Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We
therefore abate this appeal and remand the case to the trial court for entry of a corrected
certification of appellant’s right to appeal.
