* A defendant in a criminal case has the right of appeal under these rules. The trial court shall enter a certification of the
defendant's right to appeal in every case in which it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order. In a plea bargain
case- --- that is, a case in which a defendant's plea was guilty or nolo contendere and the punishment did not exceed the
punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant---- a defendant may appeal only: (A) those
matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to
appeal." TEXAS RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 25.2(a)(2).

                                  MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

       Under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 21 and 22, Defendant Fernando Munoz files

this Motion for New Trial:

       1.   Defendant was sentenced on November 24, 2014. This Motion for New Trial, filed

within the thirty-day timetable following sentencing is therefore timely. A hearing must be

commenced before the 75th day after sentencing, or this motion is overruled by operation oflaw.

       2.   The verdict in this cause is contrary to the law and the evidence. See Tex. Rule

App. Proc. 21.3.

       3.   The trial court has the discretion to grant a new trial in the interests of justice, as

courts have emphasized in Mullins v. State, 37 Tex. 337, 339-340 (1873) and State v. Gonzalez,

855 S.W.2d 692 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).

       4.   For the foregoing reasons, and for such other reasons that may arise on the hearing of

this Motion, Defendant requests a new trial.

       Defendant prays that the Court set aside the judgment of conviction entered in this cause

and order a new trial on the merits.

                                                Respectfully submitted,
