                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 5, 2016, the trial court sentenced Peggy Lynn Gibson on a

conviction for theft. Gibson filed a notice of appeal on September 30, 2016. The

trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the

court 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). The district clerk has provided the trial

court’s certification to the Court of Appeals.



                                          1
      On November 8, 2016, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No

response has been filed. Because the record does not contain a certification that

shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex.

R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
