MARK AUDWIN BROWN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do Not Publish - Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b)
On Appeal from the 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1679159
Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Appellant entered a guilty plea to promotion of prostitution of a person younger than 18 years old. See Tex. Penal Code § 43.03(b)(2). In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We dismiss the appeal.
The trial court signed 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 trial court's certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court's certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). On May 28, 2024, this court notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless a party demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
