MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, MANUEL GARCIA, JR., attempts to appeal his convictions for driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance. The trial court has certified that each of these cases “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On May 12, 2004, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s certifications 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 certifications.
On June 7, 2004, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response does not establish (1) that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or (2) 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, these appeals are dismissed. Any pending motions are denied as moot.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
Opinion delivered and filed this
the 24th day of June, 2004.
