RONNIE RAY BROOKS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
________________________________________________________________________
On Appeal from the 435th District Court
Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 13-11-12284 CR
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court sentenced Ronnie Ray Brooks on a conviction for violation of
a civil commitment order. Brooks filed a notice of appeal on August 12, 2015. The
trial court signed a certification in which the 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). The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court
of Appeals. On August 14, 2015, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the
appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The
1
appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court’s certification
should be amended. Because the trial court’s certification shows the defendant
does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
