                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
                Before Justices Benavides, Tijerina, and Peña
                   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Peña

       This cause is before the Court upon its own motion. On January 5, 2023, appellant

filed a notice of appeal in trial court cause number 16-04-7626. The trial court’s

certification of defendant’s right to appeal indicates, “this is a plea-bargain case, and the

defendant has NO right of appeal.”
       On January 10, 2023, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record

and determine whether appellant has the right to appeal. On January 30, 2023,

appellant’s counsel filed a response indicating the appellant waived his right to appeal

and does not have the 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 to appeal.

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby

dismissed.

                                                        L. ARON PEÑA JR.
                                                        Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed on the
16th day of February, 2023.
