Opinion

No. 13-09-00542-CR

Opinion delivered and filed November 19, 2009. DO NOT PUBLISH. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 117th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

Before Chief Justice VALDEZ and Justices RODRIGUEZ and GARZA.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant, Amanda Hull, attempts to appeal her conviction for possession of cocaine. The trial court has certified that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal," and "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). On September 29, 2009, 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 October 26, 2009, 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. Any pending motions are denied as moot.
