THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court at Law

Liberty County, Texas Trial Cause No. 100757

________________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 20, 2015, the trial court sentenced Robert McAndrews on a conviction for possession of marijuana. McAndrews filed a notice of appeal on May 21, 2015. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that the defendant waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. On August 20, 2015, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant has not

filed a response that establishes that the trial court’s certification should be amended to state that the defendant has the right of appeal. 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. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
