Citation: Not availableDocket: 02-12-00434-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; December 12, 2012; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Tiffney Lynne McAdoo attempted to appeal her convictions for theft from an elderly individual and making a false statement to obtain property or credit. After pleading guilty, she was sentenced to five years of incarceration, which was suspended in favor of five years of community supervision and restitution. The trial court's certifications indicated that this was a plea-bargain case, and McAdoo had no right to appeal under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure (TRAP) 25.2(a)(2). The Court of Appeals notified McAdoo of the potential dismissal of her appeals due to lack of jurisdiction unless she provided grounds to continue. No response was received, leading the court to dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction, reaffirming the lack of a right to appeal in plea-bargain cases. The decision was issued per curiam on December 13, 2012, by Justices Gardner, Walker, and McCoy. The opinion is not published.
