                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On May 13, 2016, the trial court sentenced Nathan Lee Wenzel on a

conviction for theft. Wenzel filed a notice of appeal on September 6, 2016. The

trial court signed a certification, certifying that this is a plea-bargain case and that

the defendant did not have a right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The

district clerk provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals.

      On September 6, 2016, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No

                                           1
response has been filed. 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.
