NO. 03-25-00852-CR

David Ruiz-Mendoza, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE 453RD DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY,
NO. CR-23-2528-E, THE HONORABLE SHERRI TIBBE, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant David Ruiz-Mendoza seeks to appeal his judgments of conviction for

possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram; aggravated assault with a deadly

weapon; and two counts of endangering a child. See Tex. Health & Safety Code § 481.115(b);

Tex. Penal Code §§ 22.02(a)(2), 22.041(f). The trial court has certified that (1) this is a

plea-bargain case and Ruiz-Mendoza has no right of appeal, and (2) Ruiz-Mendoza has waived

the right of appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R.

App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).
