         Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Garza
                                 Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
 
Appellant, JUAN RAMOS SALINAS, attempts to appeal a conviction for driving
while intoxicated.  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
30, 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
6, 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Do not publish.

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed 
this the 13th day of July, 2006.
