MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-06-00757-CR
Daniel ENRIQUEZ,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas ,
Appellee
From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2005-CR-7972
Honorable Mark Luitjen , Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini , Justice
  Sandee Bryan Marion , Justice
  Phylis J. Speedlin , Justice

Delivered and Filed: January 3, 2007

DISMISSED
 Pursuant to a plea-bargain agreement, Daniel Enriquez pled nolo contendere to aggravated sexual assault of a child and was
sentenced to twenty-five years and a fine of $1200.00 in accordance with the terms of his plea-bargain agreement. On
October 9, 2006, the trial court signed a certification of defendant's right to appeal stating that this "is a plea-bargain case,
and the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). After Enriquez filed a notice of appeal, the trial
court clerk sent copies of the certification and notice of appeal to this court. See id. 25.2(e). The clerk's record, which
includes the trial court's rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed. See id.25.2(d). 
 "In a plea bargain case ... a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled
on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to appeal." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk's record,
which contains a written plea bargain, establishes the punishment assessed by the court does not exceed the punishment
recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant. See id. 25.2(a)(2). The clerk's record does not include a
written motion filed and ruled upon before trial; nor does it indicate that the trial court gave its permission to appeal. The
trial court's certification, therefore, appears to accurately reflect that this is a plea-bargain case and that Enriquez does not
have a right to appeal. We must dismiss an appeal "if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not
been made part of the record."  Id. 25.2(d). 
 We, therefore, warned Enriquez that this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
25.2(d), unless an amended trial court certification showing that he had the right to appeal was made part of the appellate
record. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 2003, order). No such
amended trial court certification has been filed. This appeal is, therefore, dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d).
