MEAGAN ASHLEY CAMPBELL, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 174th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1806919
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Meagan Ashley Campbell is attempting to appeal from a judgment
of conviction for the offense of injury to a child causing serious bodily injury for
which appellant was sentenced to eight years’ incarceration in the Correctional
Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. See TEX. PENAL
CODE § 22.04(a)(1). The judgment of conviction was signed on September 29, 2025.
Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal on November 4, 2025. We dismiss the
appeal.
Appellant lacks the right to appeal. The clerk’s record indicates that appellant
pleaded guilty without an agreement as to punishment but in exchange for the state’s
agreement to recommend a cap of 30 years’ incarceration. Because the State agreed
to cap punishment, this is a plea-bargain case. See Shankle v. State, 119 S.W.3d 808,
813 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003). The trial court’s certification of defendant’s right of
appeal certified that appellant had no right of appeal because this was a plea-bargain
case. Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction. See Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). Any
pending motions are dismissed as moot.
