MEMORANDUM OPINION


The trial court's certification in this appeal states that the case is a "plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." The clerk's record contains a written plea bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the clerk's record supports the trial court's certification that defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d) provides, "[t]he appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules." Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). Appellant's counsel has filed written notice with this court that counsel has reviewed the record and "can find no right of appeal for Appellant." We construe this notice as an indication that appellant will not seek to file an amended trial court certification showing that he has the right of appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 177 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2003, order). In light of the record presented, we agree with appellant's counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d).
