In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-19-00211-CR ___________________________ JARROD D. WILLIAMS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS On Appeal from Criminal District Court No. 1 Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 1332099D Before Birdwell, Bassel, and Womack, JJ. Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION Jarrod D. Williams filed a pro se “Petitioner[’]s Notice of Appeal From PleaBargained Case,” claiming that he is not the person who was charged but a different person with the same name and that he has signed all court documents in this case under duress. The trial court’s certification of the right of appeal states that this is a plea-bargain case with no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). The trial court’s judgment and the written plea admonishments support the certification. Neither appellant nor his appointed standby counsel responded to our letter giving them an opportunity to raise grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we must dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); see also Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 82 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (holding that right of appeal in plea-bargained cases set forth in article 44.02 of the code of criminal procedure excludes complaint that plea was involuntary).
