                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 9, 2021, the trial court sentenced Bennie Ray Johnson, Appellant,

on a conviction for burglary of a habitation. Johnson filed a notice of appeal on

August 23, 2021. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to

appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case 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 certification to the Court of Appeals.

                                           1
      On August 25, 2021, we sent a letter that notified the parties that we would

dismiss the appeal unless within fifteen days the appellant filed a response that

established the certification from the trial court is incorrect. We have not received a

response from the appellant to our letter. Because the record does not contain a

certification that shows Johnson has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal.

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

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
