                         Montgomery County, Texas

                           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 plea-

bargain 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.
