                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 4, 2019, the trial court sentenced Ashley McFarland on a

conviction for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. McFarland filed a notice of

appeal on November 15, 2019. The trial court entered a certification of the

defendant’s right to appeal, 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
                                          1
December 4, 2019, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless

the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been

filed. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant

has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
