                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

MARIO NEWMAN,                                                                 Appellant,

                                                v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                            Appellee.

                   On appeal from the 214th District Court
                         of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Tijerina
               Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

      Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a judgment in trial court

case number 20FC-4735F. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

      Upon review of the documents filed, the trial court has certified that this “is a plea-

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On September 19, 2023, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and
determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. On September 25, 2023, appellant’s

counsel responded concluding that appellant has not retained a right to appeal.

       The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed

if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3. Accordingly, this case is dismissed

for want of jurisdiction.

                                                               NORA L. LONGORIA
                                                               Justice

Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2 (b).

Delivered and filed on the
19th day of October, 2023.
