In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-10-00341-CR ________________________ BEULAH JOHNSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ___________________________________________________________ _________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 09-08009 _____________________________________________________________ ________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 28, 2010, the trial court sentenced Beulah Johnson on a conviction for forgery. Johnson filed a notice of appeal on July 7, 2010. 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 July 20, 2010, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been 1 filed. Because the trial court did not provide 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. ________________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Opinion Delivered September 8, 2010 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 2
