Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Monica Arguelles, attempts to appeal a conviction for theft of property.
The trial court has certified that Athe defendant has waived the right of appeal.@ See TEX.
R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On November 5, 2012, 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 December 10, 2012, 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.
