Original Court Document: View Document
Kevin Reid Althouse appealed a trial court judgment resulting from a plea bargain with the State of Texas, in which he pled guilty to theft of property valued between $100 and $750, classified as a Class B misdemeanor. As part of the plea agreement, he received a recommended sentence of forty days' confinement in jail. The trial court's certification of appeal indicated that this was a plea-bargained case, and under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(a)(2) and (d), Althouse had no right to appeal. The appellate court notified Althouse that the appeal could be dismissed based on this certification unless he or another party provided grounds for continuing the appeal. Althouse's response failed to demonstrate sufficient grounds. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d) and 43.2(f). The opinion was delivered on April 20, 2017, by a panel including Justices Pittman, Livingston, and Walker.
