                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On June 26, 2018, the trial court sentenced Steven Louis Massey Jr. on an

indictment for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. After

signing the judgment, the trial court certified the case resulted from a plea-bargain

and that Massey has no right to appeal.1

      1See   Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
                                           1
      On May 16, 2023, Massey, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal. The District

Clerk provided the trial court’s certification that Massey has no right to appeal to the

Court of Appeals. After the Court received the notice, the Clerk of this Court notified

the parties on May 18, 2023, that the Court would dismiss the appeal unless the

appellant established the trial court’s certification was incorrect. Even though

Massey responded to the Court’s notice, his response fails to establish that the trial

court’s certification that shows he has no right to appeal is incorrect.

      We dismiss the appeal. 2

      APPEAL DISMISSED.

      2See  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). We also note that it appears that Massey filed a
notice too late to perfect an appeal. See id. 26.2, 26.3.
