                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 7, 2018, the trial court sentenced Justin Thomas Brooks on two

convictions for injury to a child. Thomas filed notices of appeal on August 27, 2018.

In each case, the trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this

is a plea-bargain case, the defendant has waived the right of appeal, 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 certifications to the Court of Appeals. On August 29,

                                            1
2018, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant

established grounds for continuing the appeals. No response has been filed. Because

the trial court’s certifications show the defendant does not have the right of appeal,

we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss

the appeals.

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
