TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00038-CR

Robert Rebel Kemp, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 426TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 57,669, HONORABLE FANCY H. JEZEK, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

		Robert Rebel Kemp was convicted of criminal non-support and sentenced to
two years in prison, probated for five years.  See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 25.05 (West 2003).  His
probation was revoked based on a plea bargain agreement in which Kemp pleaded true to an alleged
violation.  He was sentenced to twenty-two months in state jail.
		Kemp filed a notice of appeal, but the trial court has certified that this is a plea
bargain case and that Kemp has no right of appeal.  The trial court record contains a document
entitled Adjudication/Revocation/Waivers, Agreements, Judicial Confession, signed by appellant
and his attorney, in which he "waives any right to a Motion for New Trial and Appeal."  The record
also contains a document entitled Waiver of Motion for New Trial and Motion in Arrest of Judgment
and Waiver of Right to Appeal, signed by appellant and his attorney, in which appellant states "[t]hat
he does not wish to appeal his conviction and expressly waives his right to appeal."
		Because the record does not contain a certification that the defendant has the right of
appeal, this appeal is dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).
