JUSTIN HERNANDEZ,                                                             Appellant,

                                            v.

                   of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justice Benavides, Tijerina, and Peña
                 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Tijerina

       This cause is before the court upon its own motion. On July 25, 2022, appellant

filed a notice of appeal challenging a judgment adjudicating guilt after a motion to revoke.

The Trial Court’s Certification of Defendant’s Right to Appeal indicates this is a plea-

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.
       On July 26, 2022, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and

determine whether appellant has the right to appeal. On August 25, 2022, appellant’s

counsel filed a response indicating the trial court certificate was defective. On September

9, 2022, the Court abated the matter and remanded to the trial court to determine whether

the certification was defective and for entry of a corrected certificate, if appropriate.

       Upon review of the subsequent supplemental reporter’s and clerk’s records, an

amended certification was executed and filed. The amended certification reflects that

the appellant does not have the right to appeal this case.

       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, 44.4. Accordingly, the appeal is

reinstated and is hereby dismissed.

                                                                        JAIME TIJERINA
                                                                        Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed on the
2nd day of February, 2023.
