JONATHAN PEDROZA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 263rd Judicial District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court No. 907742

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Jonathan Pedroza has filed a notice of appeal from the final adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault. We have now received the certification of Pedroza's right of appeal as required by Tex. R. App. P. 25.2. That certification states that Pedroza has no right of appeal.

Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Because the trial court's certification affirmatively shows Pedroza has no right of appeal, and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss his appeal.

We dismiss the appeal.
