                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                      CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

EPHRAIN RELIFORD,                                                            Appellant,

                                            v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.
____________________________________________________________

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

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
 Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
             Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

       Appellant, Ephrain Reliford, attempts to appeal a conviction from the 105th District

Court of Nueces County. The trial court has certified that “the defendant has waived the

right of appeal.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
       On March 17, 2020, 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 March 27, 2020, 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.



                                                                   NORA L. LONGORIA
                                                                   Justice


Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
30th day of April, 2020.
