                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

GABRIEL GONZALES,                                                             Appellant,

                                                v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                            Appellee.

                    On appeal from the 36th District Court
                       of San Patricio County, Texas.

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

      Appellant filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal a judgment in trial court

case number S-21-3321CR. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

      Upon review of the documents filed, 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 November 1, 2023, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and
determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. On November 28, 2023, appellant’s

counsel responded concluding that appellant does not have 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. Accordingly, this case is dismissed

for want of jurisdiction.

                                                               GINA M. BENAVIDES
                                                               Justice

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the
11th day of January, 2024.
