                               COURT OF APPEALS

                       THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                         CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

PATRICIA ANN CACERES,                                                        Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

                On appeal from the County Court at Law No 1
                        of Victoria County, Texas.

                                     ORDER
              Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Longoria
                             Order Per Curiam

       Appellant, Patricia Ann Caceres, has filed a notice of appeal with this Court from

his conviction in trial court cause number 2-103819. The trial court’s certification of the

defendant’s right to appeal shows that the defendant does not have the right to appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an

appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that a defendant has a right of

                                            1
appeal is not made a part of the record. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P.

37.1, 44.3, 44.4.

        Within thirty days of this notice, appellant’s lead appellate counsel, W.A. 'Bill'

White, is hereby ORDERED to: 1) review the record; 2) determine whether appellant

has a right to appeal; and 3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings as to

whether appellant has a right to appeal and/or advise this Court as to the existence of

any amended certification.

        If appellant’s counsel determines that appellant has a right to appeal, counsel is

further ORDERED to file a motion with this Court within thirty days of this notice,

identifying and explaining substantive reasons why appellant has a right to appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 44.3, 44.4; see also, e.g., Carroll v. State, No. 04-03-00473-CR, 2003

Tex. App. LEXIS 7317 (San Antonio 2003, no pet.) (designated for publication)

(certification form provided in appendix to appellate rules may be modified to reflect that

defendant has right of appeal under circumstances not addressed by the form). The

motion must include an analysis of the applicable case law, and any factual allegations

therein must be true and supported by the record. Cf. Woods v. State, 108 S.W.3d 314,

316 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003) (construing former appellate rule 25.2(b)(3) and holding that

recitations in the notice of appeal must be true and supported by the record). Copies of

record documents necessary to evaluate the alleged error in the certification affecting

appellant’s right to appeal shall be attached to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1,

10.2.
