FOOTNOTES
FN1. The trial court's certification states the case does not involve a plea bargain and appellant has the right to appeal. The record clearly shows appellant waived her right to appeal. Therefore, the certification is not supported by the record before the Court. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3D 610 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).. FN1.
