MEMORANDUM OPINION


No. 04-08-00828-CR


Oscar G. CASAREZ,

Appellant


v.


The STATE of Texas,

Appellee


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

Trial Court No. 2008-CR-1099A

Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding


PER CURIAM

 

Sitting:            Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

 

Delivered and Filed:   December 17, 2008


DISMISSED


            The trial court signed a certification of defendant’s right to appeal 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). Rule 25.2(d) provides, “The 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). Accordingly, on November 26, 2008, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows defendant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State,110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1.

            On December 2, 2008, defendant’s appellate counsel filed a letter stating “this court has no choice but to dismiss the appeal.” In light of the record presented, we agree with defendant’s counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
