                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

JENNIFER LOPEZ,                                                               Appellant,

                                                v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                            Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 36th District Court
                         of Aransas County, Texas.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
 Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Tijerina
              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Tijerina

      Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a judgment in trial court

case number A-23-5138-CR. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

      Upon review of the documents filed, the trial court has certified that this “is a plea-

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On December 4, 2023, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and
determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. On December 18, 2023, appellant’s

counsel responded concluding that appellant waived her right to appeal and otherwise

does not have 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. Accordingly, this case is dismissed

for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                      JAIME TIJERINA
                                                                      Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed on the
18th day of January, 2024.
