MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00223-CR

James Basilio GOVEA, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2008-CR-5113B Honorable Mary D. Roman, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebecca Simmons, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 7, 2010

DISMISSED

The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that the case is a “plea-bargain case, and

the defendant has NO 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 filed a written notice with this court that counsel reviewed the record

and “can find no right of appeal for Appellant.” We construe this notice as an indication that 04-10-00223-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 dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is

dismissed.
