In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-14-00231-CR
HUNTER RAY PETERS, APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 251st District Court
Potter County, Texas
Trial Court No. 64364-C, Honorable Ana Estevez, Presiding
August 7, 2014
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Appellant Hunter Ray Peters filed a pro se notice of appeal seeking to challenge
his conviction for theft. The district clerk provided a copy of the trial court’s certification
of appellant’s right of appeal. According to the certification, appellant made a plea
bargain agreement by which he had no right of appeal, or appellant waived the right of
appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2) and (d). By letter of June 13, 2014, we notified
appellant of the terms of the trial court’s certification barring appeal, and that the case
would be dismissed without further notice unless he filed an amended certificate by July
7 indicating a right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Appellant has made no
response.
We therefore dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f); Chavez v.
State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“A court of appeals, while having
jurisdiction to ascertain whether an appellant who plea-bargained is permitted to appeal
by Rule 25.2(a)(2), must dismiss a prohibited appeal without further action, regardless
of the basis for the appeal”).
