COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

ROYE BERNAL, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 94th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Roye Bernal, attempts to appeal his conviction for aggravated robbery.

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 November 8, 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 December 19, 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Do not publish.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 14th day of February, 2013.
