MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, VAN TRAY WILLIAMS, attempts to appeal his convictions for possession and delivery of a controlled substance. The trial court has certified that Athe defendant has waived the right of appeal.@ See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On April 27, 2006, this Court notified appellant=s counsel of the trial court=s certifications 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 May 15, 2006, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel=s response fails to establish either that the certifications currently on file with this Court are 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, these appeals are dismissed. Any pending motions are denied as moot.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
