Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                           No. 04-14-00373-CR

                                              Ieshia SCOTT,
                                                 Appellant

                                                 v.
                                      The STATE of TexasAppellee
                                         The STATE of Texas,
                                               Appellee

                      From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                   Trial Court No. 2014CR1637W
                             Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:           Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
                   Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
                   Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 16, 2014

DISMISSED

           The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain

case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain,

and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and

agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately reflects that the

underlying case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

           Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, “The appeal must be

dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part
                                                                                  04-14-00373-CR

of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). On May 27, 2014, we ordered that this

appeal would be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification

showing that the appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record by June

26, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). No

response was filed. In the absence of an amended trial court certification showing that the

appellant has the right of appeal, rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
