RONALD LOUIS JAMES, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 11-12924
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 6, 2012, the trial court sentenced Ronald Louis James, Jr. on a conviction for evading arrest or detention by using a vehicle. James filed a notice of appeal on February 9, 2012. 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 written plea admonishment signed by defendant included the admonishment that defendant could "be ordered confined as a condition of community supervision for up to 180 days in the county jail, or between 90 and 180 days in the State Jail." The district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of Appeals. On February 21, 2012, 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, the appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
