                         CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                           Appellee.

                          of Nueces County, Texas.

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela
                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

       Appellant, George Rodriguez, attempts to appeal a conviction for sexual assault.

The trial court has certified that Athe defendant has waived the right of appeal.@ See TEX.

R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
       On February 16, 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 September 25, 2012, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel=s

response does not establish: (1) that the certification currently on file with this Court is

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, this

appeal is DISMISSED.

                                                  PER CURIAM

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the
11th day of October, 2012.
