                          Jefferson County, Texas

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION


       On October 8, 2012, the trial court sentenced Shadrick Holman on a conviction for

possession of a controlled substance. Holman filed a notice of appeal on October 22,

2012. 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. On November 8, 2012, we notified the parties that

we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the


                                              1
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.
