Opinion

No. 13-04-500-CR

Opinion Delivered and Filed March 3, 2005. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On appeal from the 398th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

Before Justices HINOJOSA, YAÑEZ, and GARZA.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant, JULIO CABALLERO ALDACO, attempts to appeal a conviction for arson. The trial court has certified that "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). On September 29, 2004, 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 November 15, 2004, counsel filed a motion to entertain appeal and to appoint appellate counsel. Counsel's response fails to establish either 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.
