MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                          No. 04-12-00082-CR

                                        David VILLARREAL,
                                              Appellant

                                                    v.

                                         The STATE of Texas,
                                               Appellee

                      From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                    Trial Court No. 2011CR8923
                            Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Rebecca Simmons, Justice
                  Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
                  Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 18, 2012

DISMISSED

           On February 29, 2012, we notified the appellant that the trial court’s certification in this

appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of

appeal.” Additionally, the clerk’s record contained a written waiver signed by the appellant

pursuant to which he entered a plea of no contest. The trial court’s judgment also reflected that

there was a plea bargain agreement, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment

recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. Therefore, the trial court’s
                                                                                     04-12-00082-CR

certification accurately reflected that the criminal case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX R. APP. P.

25.2(a)(2).

       In our February 29, 2012 order, we warned the appellant that “[this] appeal must be

dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made

part of the record under these rules.” See id. R. 25.2(d). We ordered that this appeal would be

dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) unless the appellant caused an amended trial court

certification to be filed by March 30, 2012, that showed the appellant has the right of appeal. See

id. R. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006);

Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 176 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). No response

was filed. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
