                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

MARIO SUAREZ,                                                               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, Mario Suarez, attempts to appeal his conviction for aggravated assault.

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

right of appeal,” and “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P.

25.2(a)(2).
       On August 22, 2013, 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 6, 2013, 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.

                                                  PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
19th day of September, 2013.
