COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
GABRIEL LOPEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 103rd District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Gabriel Lopez, attempts to appeal a conviction for theft arising from
trial court cause number 2012-DCR-1403-D, docketed in our Court as cause number
13-12-00713-CR, and a conviction for burglary of vehicles arising from trial court cause
number 2012-DCR-2065-D, docketed in our Court as cause number 13-12-00714-CR.
In each of these cases, the trial court has certified that the defendant has waived the
right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On December 4, 2012, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s
certifications and ordered counsel to: (1) review the records; (2) determine whether
appellant has a right to appeal in either cause; 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 December 14, 2012, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court for each of
these causes. Counsel’s response does not establish: (1) that the certifications
currently on file with this Court are incorrect, or (2) that appellant otherwise has a right
to appeal in either cause.
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.
