MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-04-00469-CR
Steven A. AGUIRRE,
Appellant
v.
STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2003-CR-4476-A
Honorable Juanita Vasquez-Gardner, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Paul W. Green, Justice
Sarah B. Duncan, Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 29, 2004
DISMISSED
Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Steven A. Aguirre pled guilty to aggravated robbery. On June 1, 2004, the trial
court imposed sentence and signed a certificate stating that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right
of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a). After Aguirre timely filed a general notice of appeal, the clerk sent copies of
the certification and notice of appeal to this court. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(e). The clerk's record, which includes the
trial court's Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
"In a plea bargain case . . . a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and
ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to appeal." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk's
record, which contains a written plea bargain, establishes that the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the
punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The
clerk's record does not contain a written motion ruled on before trial nor does it indicate the trial court granted Aguirre
permission to appeal. The trial court's certification therefore appears to accurately reflect that this is a plea bargain case
and Aguirre does not have the right to appeal. This court must dismiss an appeal "if a certification that shows the
defendant has the right of appeal has not been made a part of the record." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
On October 7, 2004, we gave Aguirre notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification
showing he has the right to appeal has been made part of the record by November 6, 2004. See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 177 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, interlocutory order) (en banc). An
amended certification showing Aguirre has the right to appeal has not been filed. We therefore dismiss this appeal.
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
