                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On November 2, 2022, the trial court sentenced Ricky Wayne Beckett on an

indictment for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On July 10, 2023, Beckett,

acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal.

      The District Clerk then sent Becket’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s

certification to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court’s certification shows that

Beckett waived his right of appeal, that this is a plea-bargain case, and that Beckett

has no right to appeal.

                                           1
      On July 17, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal

unless the appellant established the trial court’s certification was incorrect. None of

the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Because the record lacks a certification

that shows Beckett has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. 1

      APPEAL DISMISSED.

Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Wright, JJ.

      1 See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). We also note that it appears that Beckett

filed a notice too late to perfect an appeal. See id. 26.2, 26.3.
