The Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas, issued an order on August 19, 2016, concerning the appeal of David Medina against the State of Texas (No. 04-16-00496-CR). The trial court's certification indicates that Medina's case is a plea-bargain case, with no right of appeal, as the punishment did not exceed the prosecutor's recommendation and was agreed upon by the defendant. According to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure (TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2)), an appeal must be dismissed if the record does not include a certification showing the defendant's right to appeal. The court ordered that Medina's appeal would be dismissed unless he files an amended trial court certification within thirty days, demonstrating his right to appeal. All other appellate deadlines are suspended until the issue of certification is resolved. The order was signed by Justice Rebeca C. Martinez and recorded by Clerk of Court Keith E. Hottle.
