VINCENT RAY JOHNSON VINCENT JOHNSON APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE (2016)

MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Pursuant to a plea-bargain agreement and a judicial confession in which appellant Vincent Ray Johnson a/k/a Vincent Johnson admitted that he committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the trial court convicted him of that offense and sentenced him to ten years' confinement. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (West 2011). The trial court signed a document certifying that appellant had entered into a plea bargain and that he had “NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant and his attorney also signed that document. Nonetheless, appellant brought this appeal.

We sent appellant a letter in which we reminded him of the trial court's certification and stated that unless he showed grounds for continuing the appeal, we could dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. Appellant responded to our letter, but the response does not show adequate grounds for continuing the appeal. Because a certification that shows that appellant has the right of appeal has not been made a part of the record, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
