MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Garza

Opinion Per Curiam


         Appellant, GLORIA GARCIA MORENO, attempts to appeal a conviction for money laundering. The trial court has certified that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

         On October 20, 2003, 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 October 30, 2003, 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, this appeal is dismissed. Any pending motions are denied as moot.


                                                      PER CURIAM

Opinion delivered and filed this
