EDUARDO ROSARIO LIMON APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Eduardo Rosario Limon pled guilty to one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child in accordance with a plea bargain. The trial court convicted him of each count and followed the State's punishment recommendation by sentencing him to twenty years' confinement for each count. Appellant filed a notice of appeal, but the trial court certified that this “is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02 (West 2006); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

We notified appellant's counsel that unless any party filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss it. Counsel's response indicates that he filed the notice protectively as he was not trial counsel, and the trial court had appointed him when trial counsel sought to withdraw. Because this response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal, we dismiss it. 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).
