                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On September 29, 2023, the trial court accepted Christy Lynn Bearden’s

guilty plea on an indictment for possession of a controlled substance and placed

Bearden on community supervision for five years. The trial court signed a

certification in which the trial court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and

Bearden has no right of appeal. On October 30, 2023, Bearden filed a notice of

appeal for Trial Cause Number A210017-R. The District Clerk provided the

certification to the Court of Appeals.

                                           1
      On November 1, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established the certification was incorrect. None of the

parties responded to the Court’s notice. Since the record lacks a certification saying

that Bearden has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
