                                 Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
 
Appellant, ANGELO VILLARREAL, attempts to appeal his convictions for evading arrest and sexual assault of a child.  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 October
4, 2005 and October 20, 2005, this Court notified appellant=s counsel of the trial court=s certifications 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 February
6, 2006, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel=s response does not establish (1) that the
certifications currently on file with this Court are incorrect or (2) 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, these appeals are dismissed. 
Any pending motions are denied as moot.
 
PER CURIAM
 
Do not publish.
