NOLAN LAVON JOHNSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F14-48249-M
ORDER
This appeal is set for submission before the Court on May 10, 2017. By letter dated March 20, 2017, we noted the clerk's record did not contain the trial court's certification of appellant's right to appeal, and we requested the trial court file a completed certification of appellant's right to appeal by March 30. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a),(d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803, 806-07 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). To date, the rule 25.2 certification of appellant's right to appeal has not been filed with this Court.
Therefore, we ORDER the trial court to file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, a completed certification that accurately reflects the trial court proceedings. See Cortez, 420 S.W.3d at 807 (holding that when neither the trial court nor the trial-court clerk supplements the record with the certification of appellant's right to appeal, "the next step for the appellate court [is] to issue an order directing the trial court to provide the certification.").
We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court, and counsel for all parties.
