Jason David Kimball v. State ( 2019 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
August 30, 2019
No. 04-19-00577-CR
Jason David KIMBALL,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2019CR1497B
Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain
case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea
bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the
prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately
reflects that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule
25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, “The appeal must be dismissed if a
certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record
under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal will be
dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless appellant
causes an amended trial court certification to be filed by September 30, 2019, showing appellant
has the right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d
610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State,110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003,
no pet.). All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our resolution of the
certification issue.
