Joshua Allen SCHOPPMAN

, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2015CR0691 Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding



### ORDER

Joshua Allen Schoppman entered into a plea bargain with the State, pursuant to which he agreed to plead guilty or nolo contendere to possession of more than four grams but less than 200 grams of methamphetamine. The terms of the agreement provided that punishment was to be assessed at ten years’ confinement , to run concurrently with the punishment in two other cases, and imposition of a $1,500 fine. The State agreed to recommend community supervision. The plea agreement further stated:

All parties understand and agree that the terms, conditions and length of [] community supervision or deferred adjudication are to be determined and

as sessed solely within the Court’s discretion. It is further understood and agreed by the parties that in the event the Court assessed terms, conditions and or a length of supervision . . . different from those agreed to by the parties, that such

difference shall not constitute grounds for setting aside the Defendant’s plea in

this cause

.

The flowing statement appears beneath the parties’ signatures on the plea bargain form:

NOTE: The parties are not allowed to make binding agreements regarding the length of community supervision or the terms and conditions of community supervision, which are totally dependent upon the Court’s discretion. The following recommendations do not constitute part of the formal plea agreement.The document then indicates the Sta te recommended the period of community supervision be six

years and that appellant be placed in the Treatment Alternative to Incarceration Program.

The trial court fou nd Schoppman guilty , sentenced him to ten years’ incarceration, and fined him $1,500. The court suspended imposition of the sentence of confinement and placed Schoppman on community supervision for a period of ten years. The court signed a certificate stating this “ is a plea

- bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal. ” See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(a)(2). Schoppman filed a motion for new trial and a notice of appeal , asserting the trial court failed to comply with the plea bargain. The clerk ’ s record, which includes the trial court ’ s

r ule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea bargain agreement, has been filed. See T EX

. R.

A PP

. P. 25.2(d).

The clerk ’ s record establishes the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(a)(2). The record also appears to support the trial court ’ s certification that Schoppman does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State , 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals s hould review clerk ’ s record to determine whether trial court ’ s certification is accurate).

This court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 2 5.2(d). Schoppman is hereby given notice that this appeal will be dismissed unless an amended certification showing

he has the right to appeal is made part of the appellate record by July 22, 2015

. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(d); Da niels v. State , 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.

— San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04

- 03

- 00176

- CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref ’ d) (not designated for publication).

We order all appellate deadlines suspended until further order of the court. We further

order the clerk of this court to serve copies of this order on the attorneys of record and the court

reporter
