JASON MICHAEL JENKINS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 09-07187
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On June 3, 2011, the trial court sentenced Jason Michael Jenkins on a conviction for felony theft. Jenkins filed a notice of appeal on June 10, 2011. 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 waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of Appeals. On June 14, 2011, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court's certification should be amended. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
