                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

RICHARD ANTHONY SANCHEZ,                                                     Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 156th District Court
                           of Bee County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION
          Before Justices Rodriguez and Benavides and Perkes
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Richard Anthony Sanchez, attempts to appeal his conviction for bail

jumping. The trial court has certified that this Ais a plea-bargain case, and the defendant

has NO right of appeal.@ See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
       On December 8, 2011, 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 January 5, 2012, 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Do not publish.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 26th
day of January, 2012.
