Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                           No. 04-15-00187-CR

                      Dianna Wyrick RODRIGUEZ aka Dianna Emmarose Ring,
                                          Appellant

                                                     v.

                                          The STATE of Texas,
                                                Appellee

                      From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                    Trial Court No. 2013CR6190
                            Honorable Raymond Angelini, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:           Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
                   Marialyn Barnard, Justice
                   Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 13, 2015

DISMISSED

           The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain

case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain,

and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and

agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately reflects that the

underlying case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

           Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, “The appeal must be

dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part
                                                                                     04-14-00187-CR

of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). On April 9, 2015, we ordered that this

appeal would be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification

showing that the appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record by May 7,

2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App.

2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). No response

was filed. In the absence of an amended trial court certification showing that the appellant has the

right of appeal, rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is

dismissed.
