MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-11-00530-CR Danielle Lynn GOODREAU, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2011CR3766W Honorable Thomas F. Lee, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: August 24, 2011 DISMISSESD Danielle Goodreau entered into a plea bargain with the State, pursuant to which she pled nolo contendere to endangering a child. The trial court imposed sentence in accordance with the agreement and signed a certificate stating this is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Goodreau timely filed a notice of appeal. The electronic clerk s record, which includes the trial court s Rule 25.2(a)(2) certification and a written plea bargain agreement, has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). This court must 04-11-00530-CR dismiss an appeal if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record. Id. The court gave appellant notice that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended trial court certification showing she has the right to appeal were made part of the appellate record within thirty days. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174 (Tex. App. San Antonio 2003, order), disp. on merits, No. 04-03-00176-CR, 2003 WL 21508347 (July 2, 2003, pet. ref d) (not designated for publication). Goodreau s appointed appellate counsel filed a written response, stating she has reviewed the record and can find no right of appeal. After reviewing the record and counsel s notice, we agree that Goodreau does not have a right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (holding that court of appeals should review clerk s record to determine whether trial court s certification is accurate). We therefore dismiss this appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
