Aaron Rodriguez v. the State of Texas

NUMBER 13-25-00674-CR

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

AARON RODRIGUEZ, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

ON APPEAL FROM THE 92ND DISTRICT COURT
OF HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Silva, Cron, and Fonseca
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Fonseca

This cause is before the Court on its own motion. On December 17, 2025, appellant

filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a judgment of conviction in trial court cause

number CR-2971-25-A. We now dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

Upon review of the documents before us, the trial court has certified that appellant

“has NO right of appeal” and that he “waived the right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P.
25.2(a)(2). On December 19, 2025, we ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record

and determine whether appellant had the right to appeal. Appellant’s counsel has failed

to respond to the Order or otherwise establish that appellant has a right to appeal the

judgment.

The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed

if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.

See id. R. 25.2(d), 37.1, 44.3. Accordingly, this case is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
