COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
                            FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

                                      ORDER OF ABATEMENT

Appellate case name:          Ex parte Tiffany Marie Dunkle
Appellate case number:        01-23-00046-CR
Trial court case number:      0996707A
Trial court:                  183rd District Court of Harris County

        Appellant, Tiffany Marie Dunkle, has a filed a notice of appeal of the trial court’s March
22, 2019 order denying her application for writ of habeas corpus. Although the clerk’s record
contains a signed, written order denying appellant’s application for writ of habeas corpus, the
clerk’s record does not include a copy of the trial court’s certification of appellant’s right of
appeal from the order denying her application for writ of habeas corpus. See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2), (d).
        Accordingly, we abate the appeal and remand the case to the trial court for the trial court
to execute a certification of appellant’s right to appeal that complies with Texas Rule of
Appellate Procedure 25.2(d) and indicates whether appellant has the right to appeal from the trial
court’s March 22, 2019 order denying her application for writ of habeas corpus. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 37.1. This Court must dismiss the appeal “if a certification that shows the
defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX. R.
APP. P. 25.2(d); Ex parte Tarango, 116 S.W.3d 201, 203 (Tex. App.—El Paso 2003, no pet.).
        The trial court clerk is directed to file a supplemental clerk’s record containing a
certification of appellant’s right of appeal from the order denying her application for writ of
habeas corpus. The supplemental clerk’s record shall be filed with this Court no later than 30
days from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c)(2).
        The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court’s active
docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this Court’s active docket when the supplemental
clerk’s record is filed with the Clerk of this Court.
       It is so ORDERED.
