                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                           No. 04-18-00582-CR

                                      Joseph Anthony MENDOZA,
                                               Appellant

                                                     v.

                                          The STATE of Texas,
                                                Appellee

                      From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                   Trial Court No. 2015CR12469A
                             Honorable Jefferson Moore, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:           Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
                   Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
                   Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

Delivered and Filed: October 31, 2018

DISMISSED

           The trial court’s certification in this appeal states that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain

case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” The clerk’s record contains a written plea bargain,

and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and

agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the trial court’s certification accurately reflects that the

underlying case is a plea-bargain case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).

           Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, “The appeal must be

dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part
                                                                                    04-18-00582-CR


of the record under these rules.” TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). On September 12, 2018, we ordered that

this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification

showing that the appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record by October

12, 2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2005); Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, no pet.). No

response was filed. In the absence of an amended trial court certification showing that the

appellant has the right of appeal, rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
