COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

MICHAEL ISAAC WORDEN, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

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

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

Appellant, Michael Isaac Worden, attempts to appeal his conviction for evading

arrest. The trial court has certified 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 March 13, 2012, 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 March 29, 2012, 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Do not publish.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 5th day of April, 2012.
