  TEANNE LYNN STEINETZ, Appellant

                     V.

          THE STATE OF TEXAS

  On Appeal from the 43rd District Court
           Parker County, Texas
  Trial Court Nos. CR21-0542, CR22-0237

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Wallach and Walker, JJ.
 Memorandum Opinion by Justice Wallach
                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant Teanne Lynn Steinetz appeals1 from the trial court’s judgments of

conviction for the offenses of burglary of a building (appellate cause number 02-23-

00058-CR) and forgery of a financial instrument (appellate cause number 02-23-

00059-CR). See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 30.02, 32.21. In each case, the trial court’s

certification of Steinetz’s right to appeal stated that the case involved a plea-bargain,

that Steinetz had no right of appeal, and that Steinetz had waived her right of appeal.

See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Based on those certifications, we notified Steinetz that

her appeals would be dismissed unless, within ten days, she or any party desiring to

continue the appeals filed a response showing grounds for their continuance. See Tex.

R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. More than ten days have passed, and we have not

received a response.

      Steinetz is not appealing an adverse ruling on a written pretrial motion and

does not have the trial court’s permission to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25(a)(2), (d).

Accordingly, we dismiss her appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P.

25(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Roberts v. State, 508 S.W.3d 481, 482 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth

2015, no pet.) (mem. op.); see also Gray v. State, No. 02-17-00271-CR,

2017 WL 4296449, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Sept. 28, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.,

not designated for publication).

      1
          Steinetz has appointed counsel, but she filed her combined notice of appeal
pro se.
