MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
----------
Less than a year after the trial court placed Appellant Crystal Louise
McCovery a/k/a Crystal McCovery on four years’ deferred-adjudication
community supervision for the offense of burglary of a habitation, the State
moved to adjudicate her guilt and revoke her community supervision. Appellant
pled true to the State’s motion and, in writing, waived her right to appeal the trial

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
court’s adjudication of her guilt and revocation of her community supervision.
The trial court granted the State’s motion and sentenced Appellant to three years’
confinement. Appellant now attempts to appeal from the trial court’s judgment.
The trial court’s certification states that Appellant has waived her right of
appeal. 2 We have notified Appellant of our concern that her appeal would be
dismissed unless by a date certain she or any party desiring to continue the
appeal filed with the court a response showing grounds for doing so. See Tex.
R. App. P. 44.3. The date certain has passed, and no response showing
grounds for continuing the appeal has been filed. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal. See Jackson v. State, 168 S.W.3d 239, 242–43 (Tex. App.––Fort Worth
2005, no pet.); Adams v. State, No. 02-11-00151-CR, 2012 WL 858609, at *1

A valid waiver of appeal prevents a defendant from appealing without the
trial court’s consent. Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Tex. Crim. App.
