of appeal as part of the bargain. The trial court followed the plea bargain,
convicted Appellant of the offense, and sentenced him to twelve years’
confinement. Appellant then filed a notice of appeal.
The trial court’s certification states that this is a plea-bargained case and
that Appellant has no right of appeal. Accordingly, we informed Appellant by
letter that his case could be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue
the appeal showed grounds for continuing it. 3 We have received no response.
We therefore dismiss this appeal. 4
