DWIGHT JOHNSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 16-26483
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 6, 2017, the trial court sentenced Dwight Johnson on a conviction for failure to register as a sex offender. Johnson filed a notice of appeal on December 17, 2017. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal, and the defendant has 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 January 24, 2018, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant has not filed a response that establishes that the trial court's certification should be amended. Because the trial court's certification shows the defendant does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
