COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

ANGELA ZANEIS A/K/A ANGELA HALE, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Benavides, Vela, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Angela Zaneis a/k/a Angela Hale, attempts to appeal convictions for

possession of methamphetamine. The trial court has certified in both cases 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 July 12, 2011, 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 certifications.

On August 2, 2011, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel=s response

does not establish that the certifications currently on file with this Court are 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, these

appeals are DISMISSED. Appellant counsel’s motions to withdraw, previously carried

with the case, are GRANTED.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish.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

Delivered and filed the 29th day of August, 2011.
