                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 12, 2013, the trial court sentenced appellant Charles Clayton

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

on August 22, 2013. 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 27, 2013, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No

response has been filed. Because the record does not contain a certification that

shows the defendant 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.
