Jose Angel Jasso Jr. v. State

Order entered February 24, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00594-CR
JOSE ANGEL JASSO JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 203rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F09-72432-P
ORDER
By order dated December 18, 2013, the Court notified the Court that the record did not
contain a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. We ordered the trial court to file a
certification that accurately reflected the trial court proceedings within fifteen days. To date, we
have not received the certification of appellant’s right to appeal, nor did we receive a response to
our letter inquiring about the status of the certification. Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
requires the trial court to prepare a certification of appellant’s right to appeal in every criminal
case in which the defendant appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Cortez v. State, 2013 WL
5220904 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 18, 2013).
Accordingly, this Court ORDERS the Honorable Teresa Hawthorne, Presiding Judge of
the 203rd Judicial District Court, to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, a
certification of appellant’s right to appeal that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Teresa Hawthorne, Presiding Judge, 203rd Judicial District Court; Yolanda Baker,
Court Coordinator, 203rd Judicial District Court; Diane Baldwin, Chief Clerk, 203rd Judicial
District Court; Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk; the Dallas County District
Clerk’s Office, Criminal Records Division; and to counsel for all parties.
