Daniel Brambilla v. State

NUMBER 13-15-00082-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
DANIEL BRAMBILLA, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On Appeal from the 148th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
Appellant, David Brambilla, filed a notice of appeal with this Court from his
conviction for aggravated sexual assault. The record currently before the Court fails to
include a certification of appellant’s right to appeal. The trial court has provided a
transcript of the sentencing excerpt detailing the admonishment of appellant’s rights.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure require the trial court to enter a
certification of the defendant’s right of appeal in every case in which it enters a judgment
of guilt or other appealable order. See id. 25.2(a)(2). The certification must include a
notice that the defendant has been informed of his rights concerning an appeal, as well
as any right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review. See id. 25.2(d). The
certification must be signed by the defendant and a copy must be given to him. See id.
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. See id.
25.2(d).
A certification has not yet been entered by the trial court. Accordingly, this matter
is ABATED and REMANDED to the trial court for entry of a certification of the appellant’s
right to appeal. On remand, the trial court shall immediately issue notice of a hearing
and accordingly conduct a hearing addressing the foregoing matter. We further direct
that, after conducting the hearing, the trial court certify whether appellant has the right of
appeal. The trial court's certification, and any orders it enters, shall be included in a
supplemental clerk's record. The trial court is directed to cause the supplemental clerk's
record to be filed with the Clerk of this Court within thirty days of the date of this order.
Should the trial court require more time to comply with the directions of this Court, it shall
request an extension prior to the expiration of this deadline.
It is so ORDERED.
