                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On September 9, 2013, the trial court sentenced Leann Wallace on

convictions for sexual assault and improper relationship between an educator and a

student. Wallace filed notices of appeal on December 2, 2013. The district clerk

has provided the trial court’s certifications to the Court of Appeals. The trial court

certified that these are plea-bargain cases and the defendant has no right of appeal.

See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

                                          1
      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 records do not contain certifications that show the defendant has

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

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
