WALLACE BEST APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

PER CURIAM

FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION¹

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.

Appellant Wallace Best pled guilty and judicially confessed to state jail felony theft of property valued at under $1500 in exchange for the State's offer of 180 days' confinement in state jail and waiver of the enhancement allegations. The trial court followed the plea bargain, convicted Appellant of the offense, and sentenced him to 180 days' confinement in state jail, awarding credit for time served.

The trial court's certification states that this is a plea-bargained case, that Appellant has no right of appeal, and that Appellant has waived the right of appeal. Accordingly, we informed Appellant by letter that this case was subject to dismissal unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal showed grounds for continuing it.² Appellant's appointed counsel did not respond.

2 See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), 25.2(d).

We grant Appellant's motion for an extension of time to file his pro se response, but having considered that response, we hold that it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. We therefore dismiss this appeal.³

3 See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
