THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE 

 

 
 FROM THE 100TH DISTRICT COURT OF
CARSON COUNTY;
 
NO. 3701; HONORABLE DAN MIKE BIRD, JUDGE

 

 
Before QUINN,
C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
 
 
ORDER OF ABATEMENT AND
REMAND
 
Appellant, Nicole C. Ferguson,
appeals the trial court’s judgment adjudicating guilt for the offense of felony
possession of marijuana.[1]  The clerk’s record contains a certification
of appellant’s right of appeal which was not signed by appellant.  
Effective September 1, 2007, Rule of
Appellate Procedure 25.2(d) was amended to require certifications executed
after the effective date to be signed by the appellant and a copy served on
him.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); Mason v. State, No. 07-07-0383-CR, 2008
Tex. App. Lexis 3956 (Tex.App.--Amarillo May 29,
2008) (per curiam order, not designated for
publication).  Consequently, we abate the
appeal and remand the cause to the 100th District Court of Carson County for
further proceedings.  On remand, the
trial court shall utilize whatever means it finds necessary to secure and file
with this court a certificate of right to appeal that complies with Rule
25.2(d).  Tex. R. App.
P. 25.2(d).
If necessary, the trial court shall
execute findings of fact, conclusions of law, and any necessary orders it may
enter regarding the aforementioned issues and cause its findings, conclusions,
and orders, if any, as well as a conforming certificate of appellant’s right of
appeal to be included in a supplemental clerk’s record.  If the trial court conducts a hearing in the
matter, it shall be stenographically recorded and the
transcription included in a supplemental reporter’s record.  The trial court shall file the supplemental
clerk’s record and the supplemental reporter’s record, if any, with the clerk
of this court by May 26, 2010.
It is so ordered.
