THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee. ____________________________________________________________ On appeal from the 103rd District Court of Cameron County, Texas. ____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Tijerina Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Contreras Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal an order entered in trial court cause number 2020-DCR-2111. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Upon review of the documents filed, we note the trial court has certified that this “is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has NO right of appeal” without permission of the Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). On April 5, 2022, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. In response, appellant’s counsel filed a letter indicating appellant waived his right to appeal and does not otherwise have the right to appeal this case. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. DORI CONTRERAS Chief Justice Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Delivered and filed on the 26th day of May, 2022. 2
