We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Sentence in this matter was imposed with a judgment of conviction entered on October 21, 2021. Upon review of the documents filed, the trial court has certified that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal” without permission of the Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). On December 16, 2021, the Court ordered appellant’s counsel to review the record and determine whether appellant had a right to appeal. In response, appellant’s counsel filed a memorandum advising the Court of no right to appeal. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX. R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. NORA L. LONGORIA Justice Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
