                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

                 Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, James Poris, attempts to appeal his convictions for aggravated assault

and escape. The trial court has certified that each appeal “is a plea-bargain case, and the

defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX . R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

       On January 25, 2008, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s

certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether appellant
has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings as to

whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the

existence of any amended certification.

       On April 4, 2008, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response

does not establish that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or that

appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.

       The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed

if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.

TEX . R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see also TEX . R. APP . P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, these

appeals are DISMISSED. Any pending motions are denied as moot.

                                                   PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b)
