Opinion

NUMBER 13-12-00082-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

ROGER POMPA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 214th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam Appellant, Roger Pompa, attempts to appeal his conviction for possession of a controlled substance. 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 January 30, 2012, 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 February 14, 2012, 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 dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM Do not publish. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the 1st day of March, 2012.
