                             COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

JOSE PEREZ, Jr.,                                                              Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                            Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 28th District Court
                          of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

    Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
                  Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Jose Perez, Jr., attempts to appeal his conviction for aggravated robbery.

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 August 24, 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 September 3, 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Do not publish.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 17th day of September, 2009.
