Andrea Palomo v. State









NUMBER 13-08-505-CR



COURT OF APPEALS



THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS



CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG




ANDREA PALOMO, Appellant,

v.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.




On appeal from the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam



Appellant, Andrea Palomo, attempts to appeal her conviction. The trial court has certified that "the defendant has NO right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On August 25, 2008, 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 September 26, 2008, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel's response does not establish that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or 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

Do not publish. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
