MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court signed a certification of defendant's right to appeal stating that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule 25.2(d) provides, "The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, on April 14, 2009, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows defendant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2003, order); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1. On April 21, 2009, defendant's appellate counsel filed a letter stating "this court has no choice but to dismiss the appeal." In light of the record presented, we agree with defendant's counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
