                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 20, 2013, the trial court sentenced Dwayne Keith Lopez on a

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

29, 2013. The certification the trial court signed that related to the defendant’s right

to appeal indicates 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.

                                           1
      On September 13, 2013, 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.
