A jury found appellant

years= confinement.  Appellant filed a
notice of appeal on August 28, 2007.

defendant=s right to
appeal in accordance with rule 25.2(a)(2).

that appellant Ahas waived
the right of appeal.@[2]
On September 7, 2007, we
notified appellant that the certification indicating that he had waived his
right to appeal had been filed in this court and that the appeal could be
dismissed unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a
response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  See Tex.
