Fourth Court of Appeals
                                   San Antonio, Texas
                                         October 11, 2019

                                       No. 04-19-00656-CR

                                 Bronwen Victoria MCHENRY,
                                          Appellant

                                                 v.

                                      The STATE of Texas,
                                            Appellee

                 From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
                                 Trial Court No. 18-0847-CR-A
                          Honorable Jessica Crawford, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
        The trial court’s certification in this appeal states “this criminal case is a plea-bargain
case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea
bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the
prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately
reflects that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d)
of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides: “The appeal must be dismissed if a
certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record
under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal will be
dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure unless appellant
causes an amended trial court certification to be filed within ten (10) days of the date of this
order showing appellant has the right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Dears
v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex.
App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending our
resolution of the certification issue.
