                                        NO. 03-23-00427-CR

                                       James Earl, Appellant

                                                   v.

                                    The State of Texas, Appellee

             FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
   NO. C-1-CR-18-501959, THE HONORABLE DIMPLE MALHOTRA, JUDGE PRESIDING

                  ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

                James Earl seeks to appeal the trial court’s order of deferred adjudication.

However, the clerk’s record does not contain the necessary trial court certification of Earl’s

right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2) (requiring trial court to enter certification of

defendant’s right of appeal “each time it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order”),

(d) (requiring record to include trial court’s certification).

                Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand the cause to the trial court for

entry of a certification of Earl’s right of appeal. See id. R. 25.2(a)(2). A supplemental record

containing the trial court’s certification shall be filed with this Court no later than October 27,

2023. See id. R. 34.5(c)(c).

                It is ordered on September 27, 2023.
