                             COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

JESSE BAZAN,                                                                  Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                            Appellee.

                   On appeal from the 214th District Court
                         of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

                 Before Justices Yañez, Benavides, and Vela
                     Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Jesse Bazan, attempts to appeal his conviction for indecency with a child.

The trial court has certified that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO

right of appeal.” See TEX . R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
       On September 16, 2009, 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 October 20, 2009, 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 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Do not publish. See TEX . R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Memorandum Opinion delivered
and filed this the 5th day of November, 2009.
