                                                   v.

                                        The STATE of Texas,
                                              Appellee

                      From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                   Trial Court No. 2007-CR-4404
                            Honorable Philip A. Kazen Jr., Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
                  Karen Angelini, Justice
                  Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 12, 2010

DISMISSED

           Appellant David M. Sepulveda pleaded guilty to the offense of aggravated robbery pursuant

to a plea bargain agreement. As part of his plea-bargain, appellant signed a separate “Waiver of

Appeal.” The trial court imposed sentence and signed a certificate stating that this “is a plea-bargain

case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal” and “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.”

See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal. The clerk’s record, which
                                                                                        04-10-00239-CR



includes the plea bargain agreement and the trial court’s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification, has been filed.

See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d). This court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the

defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” Id.

        The court gave appellant notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial

court certification showing he has the right to appeal were made part of the appellate record within

thirty days. See TEX . R. APP . P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App.–San

Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet.

ref’d) (not designated for publication). Appellant’s appointed appellate counsel filed a written

response, stating she has reviewed the record and can find no right of appeal. After reviewing the

record and counsel’s notice, we agree appellant does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State,

154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk’s record

to determine whether trial court’s certification is accurate). We therefore dismiss this appeal. TEX .
