                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 10, 2013, the trial court sentenced Philip Cockerham on a

conviction for driving while intoxicated. Cockerham filed a notice of appeal on

November 7, 2013. The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to

the Court of Appeals. The trial 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).

      On November 20, 2013, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established that the certification is incorrect. The

                                         1
appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court’s certification

should be amended. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows

the defendant has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(d).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.

                                              ________________________________
