AARON ECHOLS,                                                                          Appellant,

                                                             v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                                                 Appellee.

                           On appeal from the 117th District Court

of Nueces County, Texas.

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

                  Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Aaron Echols, attempts to appeal his conviction for injury to a child, elderly or disabled individual.  The trial court has certified that this Ais a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.@  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On July 26, 2010, 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 July 29, 2010, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel=s response does not establish 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.
