PETER J. FLORES APPELLANT

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
----------
FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. 1520365D
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Through a plea-bargain agreement, the trial court convicted appellant
Peter J. Flores of evading arrest in a vehicle and sentenced him to three years’
confinement. The trial court signed a certification stating that this “is a plea-
bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(a)(2). Nonetheless, Flores filed a notice of appeal.

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
We sent Flores a letter stating that we received the certification and the
notice of appeal and informing him that unless he filed a response showing
grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. His response does not show grounds for continuing the
appeal. Accordingly, because we have not received a certification showing that
Flores has the right to appeal his plea-bargained conviction or sentence, we
dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183
S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Serrell v. State, No. 02-16-00219-CR,
2016 WL 6648757, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Nov. 10, 2016, no pet.) (mem.
