            Before Chief Justice
Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza
                                 Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
 
                                                                              
Appellant, BRUCE R. STURGEON, JR., attempts to appeal a conviction for injury to a child.  The trial
court has certified that this Ais a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO
right of appeal.@  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On March
22, 2006, 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 June
13, 2006, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel=s response does not establish (1) that the
certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or (2) 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 Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. 
Any pending motions are denied as moot.
 
PER CURIAM
 
Do not publish.

the 22nd day of June, 2006.
