----------
FROM THE 371st
District Court OF Tarrant COUNTY
----------
MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
----------
Pursuant
to a plea bargain, Appellant Justin Barry McDonald signed a judicial confession
and pled guilty to injury to a child causing bodily injury, a third-degree
felony,[2] and true to an
enhancement paragraph, and the trial court convicted him of that offense and
sentenced him to two years’ confinement.[3]  Appellant filed a timely
pro se notice of appeal.
The
trial court’s certification states that this is a plea-bargained case and that
Appellant has no right of appeal.  Accordingly, we informed Appellant by letter
in July 2012 that this case was subject to dismissal unless he or any party
showed grounds for continuing the appeal on or before Friday, July 27, 2012.[4]  Appellant’s
response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.  We therefore dismiss
this appeal.[5]
