In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-15-00323-CR ____________________ RONNIE RAY BROOKS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 13-11-12284 CR ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION The trial court sentenced Ronnie Ray Brooks on a conviction for violation of a civil commitment order. Brooks filed a notice of appeal on August 12, 2015. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a pleabargain 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 August 14, 2015, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The 1 appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court’s certification should be amended. Because the trial court’s certification shows the defendant does not have 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STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on September 22, 2015 Opinion Delivered September 23, 2015 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ. 2
