MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 23, 2014, the trial court sentenced Joe Edward Jones on a conviction
for possession of a controlled substance. Jones filed a notice of appeal on August
11, 2014. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that the
defendant waived his 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 August
18, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the
appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a
1
response, which states he requested permission to appeal, but the trial court denied
the appellant’s request for permission to appeal and the appellant failed to establish
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.
