JOHNATHAN MARTINEZ A/K/A
JONATHAN MARTINEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 197th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Johnathan Martinez a/k/a Jonathan Martinez, attempts to appeal his conviction for capital murder. 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 18, 2011, 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 April 15, 2011, 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.
PER CURIAM
