In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-26-00283-CR ___________________________ JULIE EARLENE HAWKINS BAILEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal from the 213th District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 1909815 Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Julie Earlene Hawkins Bailey, proceeding pro se, attempts to appeal her conviction for the state-jail felony offense of bestiality. See Tex. Penal Code § 21.09(b). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Bailey was indicted for the second-degree felony offense of bestiality committed in the presence of a child under the age of 18 or resulting in serious bodily injury or death of the animal. See id. § 21.09(a)(9), (b). Pursuant to a plea bargain, Bailey agreed to plead guilty to the lesser-included offense of bestiality in exchange for the State’s agreeing to waive a repeat-offender notice and recommending that Bailey’s punishment be reduced to a Class A misdemeanor and that her punishment be assessed at four months’ confinement in county jail. See id. § 12.44(a) (authorizing trial court to punish defendant convicted of state-jail felony by imposing confinement permissible as punishment for Class A misdemeanor). As part of the written plea agreement, Bailey waived “all rights of appeal,” and she was admonished that if the trial court followed the plea agreement, she could not appeal her case—except for matters raised by written motion filed before trial—without permission from the trial court. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 44.02; Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). In accordance with the parties’ agreement, the trial court found Bailey guilty of bestiality and sentenced her to four months in jail. The trial court’s “Certification of Defendant’s Right of Appeal,” which was signed by Bailey, states that this “is a plea- bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 2 25.2(a)(2), (d). The trial court also certified that Bailey “has waived the right of appeal.” On July 31, 2026, after we received a copy of Bailey’s notice of appeal, we notified her that we had received the trial court’s certification stating that this is a plea-bargain case, that she has no right of appeal, and that she has waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). We warned her that this appeal could be dismissed unless, by August 10, 2026, she filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. Bailey did not file a response. Thus, in accordance with the trial court’s certification, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
