MEMORANDUM OPINION
Alex Mandujano was indicted for murder. He later pleaded guilty to manslaughter pursuant to a plea bargain with the State. As part of his plea-bargain, Mandujano signed a separate "Waiver of Appeal." The trial court imposed sentence and signed a certificate 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). Mandujano timely filed a notice of appeal. The clerk's record, which includes the plea bargain agreement and the trial court's Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an appeal "if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record." Id. The court gave Mandujano notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing he has the right to appeal were made part of the appellate record within thirty days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication). Mandujano's appointed appellate counsel filed a written response, stating she has reviewed the record and can find no right of appeal. After reviewing the record and counsel's notice, we agree that Mandujano does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk's record to determine whether trial court's certification is accurate). We therefore dismiss this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
