                                                               Appellee

 

                        From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

PER CURIAM

 

Sitting:          Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed:  April 13, 2011

 

DISMISSED

The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.”  Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that an 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).  The clerk’s record, which was filed on CD-ROM, 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).  In addition, appellant’s counsel has filed a letter in which she states that she has reviewed the electronic clerk’s record and “can find no right of appeal for Appellant;” counsel concedes that the appeal must be dismissed.  In light of the record presented, we agree with appellant’s counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
