The trial court’s certification of Appellant’s right of appeal reflects that this is a plea bargain 1 See TEX.

To date, Appellant has not filed a response or had any further communication with this court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal based on the trial court’s certification. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
