In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-11-00298-CR ________________ WILLIE LEE EDWARDS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 11-11675 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 31, 2011, the trial court sentenced Willie Lee Edwards on a conviction for burglary of a habitation. Edwards filed a notice of appeal on June 7, 2011. 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 19, 2011, 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 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. _____________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Opinion Delivered August 24, 2011 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
