MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant John Joseph Jordan attempts to appeal from his conviction for
possession of a controlled substance, Oxycodone, and his conviction for the theft
of property worth less than $2,500, enhanced by two prior convictions. See Tex.
Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115 (West 2010), Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§ 31.03 (West Supp. 2016). Appellant pleaded guilty in both cases pursuant to
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
plea bargains, and in accordance with the plea bargains, Appellant was
sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for the possession conviction and 18
months’ imprisonment for the theft conviction. The trial court’s certification of his
right to appeal in each case states that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the
defendant has NO right of appeal” and that “the defendant has waived the right of
appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
By letter dated July 11, 2016, we notified Appellant his appeals could be
dismissed based on the trial court’s certification unless he or any party desiring to
continue the appeal filed a response on or before July 21, 2016, showing
grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. No
response has been filed.
In accordance with the trial court’s certifications, we therefore dismiss
Appellant’s appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
