                            COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

DWAYNE PORTER,                                                           Appellant,

                                          v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                       Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 347th District Court
                          of Nueces County, Texas.

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
         Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, Dwayne Porter, attempts to appeal his conviction for burglary of a

habitation.   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 June 21, 2012, 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 July 23, 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Do not publish.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
2nd day of August, 2012.
