Michael Tapia v. the State of Texas ( 2022 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-22-00243-CR
MICHAEL TAPIA,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 19th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2015-74-C1
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Michael Tapia appeals his 2016 convictions for aggravated assault against a public
servant and evading arrest or detention with a vehicle. See TEX. PENAL CODE §§ 22.02;
38.04. Because the trial court's certificate of right of appeal indicates Tapia has waived
his right to appeal, this appeal must be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d) ("The appeal
must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has
not been made part of the record under these rules."); Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622
(Tex. Crim. App. 2003) (waiver of appeal).
By letter dated September 16, 2022, the Clerk of this Court warned Tapia that his
appeal would be dismissed unless, within 14 days from the date of the letter, a response
was filed with the Court showing grounds for continuing the appeal. More than 14 days
have passed, and Tapia had not responded.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
