On Appeal from the 105th District Court 
of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

 
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

 Appellant, Joseph Grant, attempts to appeal his conviction for sexual assault.  The
trial court has certified that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of
appeal."  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
	On October 18, 2007, 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 December 11, 2007, 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.  Any pending motions are denied as moot.
 							PER CURIAM
Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 17th day of January, 2008.
