Roberto Degollado v. State ( 2020 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-20-00007-CR
Roberto Degollado, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE 427TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-DC-18-200831, THE HONORABLE TAMARA NEEDLES, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Roberto Degollado was indicted for the first-degree felony offense of murder after
stabbing his live-in girlfriend to death in front of her two minor sons. See Tex. Penal Code
§ 19.02(b), (c). Degollado pleaded guilty and seeks to appeal his murder conviction. However,
the trial court has certified that Degollado waived the right of appeal, and the record of
Degollado’s plea-and-sentencing hearing supports the trial court’s certification. Accordingly,
this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).
