MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, BRUCE R. STURGEON, JR., attempts to appeal a conviction for injury to a child. 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 March 22, 2006, 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 June 13, 2006, 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
