Randolph Bowden v. State of Texas ( 2012 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-12-00204-CR
RANDOLPH BOWDEN, Appellant
V.
STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 202nd District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 11-F-923-202
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Randolph Bowden has filed pro se a notice of appeal from his conviction of deadly
conduct. On our review of the clerk’s record, we noted that the trial court’s certification of right
of appeal stated that this was a plea agreement case and that Bowden has no right of appeal.
Unless a certification showing that a defendant has the right of appeal is in the record, we
must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
Because the trial court’s certification affirmatively shows Bowden has no right of appeal
and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v.
State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal.
We, therefore, dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
