ALBERT CHRISTOPHER SOLIS                                         APPELLANT

                                           V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                     STATE

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

                                       ------------

      Pursuant to a plea bargain, the trial court convicted Appellant Albert

Christopher Solis upon his plea of guilty or nolo contendere to the offense of

evading arrest or detention using a vehicle and sentenced him to eight years’

confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal

     1
         See T EX. R. A PP. P. 47.4.
Justice upon his plea of true to the state jail felony enhancement allegations.

Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal.

      The trial court’s certification states that this is a plea-bargained case, that

Appellant has no right to appeal, and that he has waived the right of appeal.

Accordingly, we informed Appellant’s appointed counsel by letter on February

5, 2008 that this appeal was subject to dismissal unless Appellant or any party

showed grounds for continuing it on or before February 15, 2008. 2 Appellant’s

counsel responded with a motion to withdraw as attorney of record that

concedes that Appellant does not have the right to appeal, that Appellant

signed a plea bargain that the trial court followed, that Appellant did not reserve

any issue for appeal, and that the trial court has not otherwise granted

permission to appeal.         We therefore dismiss this appeal,3 but we deny

Appellant’s appointed counsel’s motion to withdraw as attorney of record.

                                                       PER CURIAM
