                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On July 23, 2014, the trial court sentenced Joe Edward Jones on a conviction

for possession of a controlled substance. Jones filed a notice of appeal on August

11, 2014. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that the

defendant waived his 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

18, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the

appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a

                                          1
 
 
 

response, which states he requested permission to appeal, but the trial court denied

the appellant’s request for permission to appeal and the appellant 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.
