Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Keiondra Tamika Allen, attempts to appeal her conviction for aggravated assault.  The trial court has certified that Athe defendant has waived the right of appeal.@  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On February 2, 2011, this Court notified appellant=s counsel of the trial court=s certification 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 certification.

On February 5, 2011, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel=s response does not establish that the certification currently on file with this Court is 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, this appeal is DISMISSED. 

PER CURIAM

Do not publish.  See Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the

24th day of February, 2011.
