MEMORANDUM OPINION

 

No. 04-05-00198-CR

 

Michael HARPEL,

Appellant

 

v.

 

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

 

From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2004-CR-5529

Honorable Pat Priest, Judge Presiding

 

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 27, 2005

 

DISMISSED

On June 3, 2005, this court issued an order stating this appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(d) unless an amended trial court certification that shows appellant has the right of appeal was made part of the appellate record on or before July 5, 2005. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 175-76 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2003, order). Appellant did not respond. The record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal; to the contrary, the trial court certification in the record states this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal. The clerk s record contains a written plea bargain, and the punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant; therefore, the clerk s record supports the trial court s certification that defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Appellant s pro se requests for appointment of an appellate attorney and for an appeal bond, previously held in abeyance pending our resolution of the certification issue, are denied as moot.
