COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

KANDICE MARIE WILLIAMS, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 24th District Court of DeWitt County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Kandice Marie Williams, attempts to appeal convictions for burglary of a

habitation and theft. The trial court has certified in these cases that this Ais a

plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal,@ and Athe defendant has

waived the right of appeal.@ See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). On April 12, 2012, 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 May 20, 2012, 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.
