                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On July 27, 2015, the trial court sentenced Beulah Johnson on a conviction

for credit card abuse. Johnson filed a notice of appeal on August 5, 2015. The

district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals.

The trial court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no

right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

      On August 12, 2015, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. Johnson

                                         1
filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court’s certification should be

amended. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the

defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
