MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

	Appellant, GABRIEL CAVAZOS, attempts to appeal a conviction for indecency
with a child.  The trial court has certified that "the defendant has waived the right of
appeal."  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
	On August 6, 2007, 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 August 14, 2007, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel's
response fails to establish either 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.
