DENNIS LEVECE MAYES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-53766-K
ORDER
By letter dated March 2, 2017, we requested the trial court file a completed certification of appellant's right to appeal by March 12. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a),(d); Cortez v. State, 420 S.W.3d 803, 806-07 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013). When it was not filed, we contacted the trial court clerk to inquire about the certification. To date, however, the rule 25.2 certification of appellant's right to appeal has not been filed in 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.").
