                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On June 29, 2017, the trial court sentenced James Hayden Morgan on

convictions for burglary of a habitation and arson. Morgan filed a notice of appeal

on July 20, 2017. In each case, the trial court signed a certification 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

certifications to the Court of Appeals. On August 22, 2017, we notified the parties


                                           1
 
 
 




that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established that the

certifications are incorrect. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that

the trial court’s certifications should be amended.         Because the trial court’s

certifications show the defendant does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss

the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
