                      Before Justices

                                 Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
 
Appellant, JUAN CORTEZ, attempts to appeal a conviction for possession
of cocaine.  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 January
20, 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 April
10, 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
 
Do not publish. 

Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
 
Memorandum Opinion delivered and 
filed this the 25th day of May, 2006.
