MEMORANDUM OPINION



Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam



	Appellant, JOE ANGEL ACOSTA, III, attempts to appeal a conviction for
retaliation.  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 December 19, 2006, 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 January 19, 2007, 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.  Any pending motions are denied as moot.

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed this
the 8th day of February, 2007.
