DIANE CULLEY, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 2nd 25th District Court of Gonzales County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Garza, Perkes, and Longoria
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Diane Culley, attempts to appeal a conviction for forgery. The trial court has certified that "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On January 4, 2016, 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 January 22, 2016, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel's response does not establish: (1) that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect, or (2) 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PER CURIAM Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Delivered and filed the 4th day of February, 2016.
