Javonda Joszell Lewis v. the State of Texas

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-26-00244-CR __________________ JAVONDA JOSZELL LEWIS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 26-01-01382 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 3, 2026, the trial court sentenced Javonda Joszell Lewis in Trial Cause Number 26-01-01382. On June 17, 2026, Lewis filed a notice of appeal. The District Clerk then sent Lewis’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s certification to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court’s certification, signed on June 3, 2026, states that “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.” On June 22, 2026, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established that the trial court’s certification was incorrect. None 1 of the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Because the record lacks a certification that shows Lewis has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on July 21, 2026 Opinion Delivered July 22, 2026 Do Not Publish Before Johnson, Wright and Chambers, JJ. 2
