He also pled true to the enhancement paragraph elevating his punishment range to that of a second-degree felony based on two 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. prior felony convictions. See id. § 12.425(b) (West Supp. 2014). Appellant waived all pretrial motions and all rights of appeal. The trial court followed the plea bargain, convicted Appellant of the offense, and sentenced him to seven years’ confinement, awarding credit for time served. The trial court signed a certification stating that the case was a plea- bargain case and Appellant had “NO right of appeal” and that Appellant had waived the right of appeal. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on July 27, 2015. On August 3, 2015, we informed Appellant of the contents of the certification and stated that we could dismiss the appeal unless, on or before August 13, 2015, he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. On August 6, 2015, Appellant filed a “Motion for Extension of Time for Appellant to File his Appeal Brief.” It does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). We also deny Appellant’s motion as moot to the extent that it requests any additional relief. PER CURIAM PANEL: GARDNER, WALKER, and MEIER, JJ.
