               Trial Court No. 2021CR10479, Honorable Christine Del Prado, Presiding

                                             June 5, 2023
                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before PARKER and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.

        Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, Appellant, Darrell DeWeese McCray, was

convicted of possession of a controlled substance2 and sentenced to three years’

confinement. The trial court’s certification of Appellant’s right of appeal reflects that this

is a plea bargain case from which Appellant has no right of appeal. The certification

        1 Originally appealed to the Fourth Court of Appeals, this appeal was transferred to this Court by

the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to its docket equalization efforts. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001.
        2   See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.112(d).
comports with the record before the Court. Notwithstanding the certification, Appellant

filed a notice of appeal challenging his conviction.

       We are required by Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d) to dismiss an appeal “if a

certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of

the record.” By letter of May 11, 2023, we notified Appellant of the consequences of the

trial court’s certification and directed him to file a response demonstrating grounds for

continuing the appeal by May 22. 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).
