                                                 Appellant

                                                       v.

                                           The STATE of Texas,
                                                 Appellee

                       From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                    Trial Court No. 2008-CR-1099A
                              Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:           Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
                   Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
                   Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: December 17, 2008

DISMISSED

           The trial court signed a certification of defendant’s right to appeal stating that this “is a plea-

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(a)(2). Rule

25.2(d) provides, “The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the

right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, on November 26, 2008, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be

dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows defendant
                                                                                       04-08-00828-CR

has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record. See Daniels v. State,110 S.W.3d 174

(Tex. App.—San Antonio 2003, order); TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d); 37.1.

       On December 2, 2008, defendant’s appellate counsel filed a letter stating “this court has no

choice but to dismiss the appeal.” In light of the record presented, we agree with defendant’s counsel

that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss this appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
