MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-08-00529-CR

Gonzalo Jerry MENDEZ, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2007-CR-7902A Honorable Raymond Angelini, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Catherine Stone, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 29, 2008

DISMISSED

The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that the case is one in which the defendant

has waived the right of appeal. Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides,

“[t]he appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has

not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d).

Appellant’s counsel has filed written notice with this court that counsel has reviewed the

record and “can find no right of appeal for Appellant.” We construe this notice as an indication that 04-08-00529-CR

appellant will not seek to file an amended trial court certification showing that he has the right of

appeal. See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 177 (Tex.

App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). In light of the record presented, we agree with appellant’s

counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is

dismissed.
