                            COURT OF APPEALS

                  THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

DELORES HELEN VASQUEZ,                                                      Appellant,

                                           v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

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

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

      Appellant, Delores Helen Vasquez, attempts to appeal her conviction for evading

arrest. 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 September 20, 2019, 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 November 18, 2019, 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.

                                                                DORI CONTRERAS
                                                                Chief Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the
26th day of November, 2019.
