No. 04-06-00609-CR and No. 04-06-00610-CR

Victor Anthony LOPEZ,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas ,

Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2005-CR-8710A and 2005-CR-8711

Honorable Sid Harle , Judge Presiding





PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice

Catherine Stone , Justice

Rebecca Simmons , Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 27, 2006

DISMISSED

The trial court's certification in this appeal states that the case is a "plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal" and "the defendant has waived his right of appeal." Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, "[t]he appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Appellant's counsel filed written notice with this court that counsel reviewed the record and appellant's pro se notice of appeal. Appellant's counsel concludes that Lopez entered a plea of guilty and although there were pre-trial motions filed, no rulings were obtained from the trial court and therefore he agrees this court has no choice but to dismiss the appeal in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). We construe this notice as an indication that appellant will not seek to file an amended trial court certification showing that he has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 177 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 2003, no pet.). In light of the record presented, we agree with appellant's counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
