                               MEMORANDUM
OPINION
 
 Before Chief
Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion
Per Curiam
 
Appellant,
Rafael Pena Rodriguez, attempts to appeal his conviction for attempted murder. 
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
November 1, 2010, 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 29, 2010, 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. 
Any pending motions are denied as moot.

Delivered and filed the 
16th day of December, 2010.
