agreement and was sentenced to two years’ confinement for each conviction, to
run concurrently. 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.”
By letter dated July 20, 2016, we notified Appellant that his appeals could
be dismissed based on the trial court’s certification unless he or any party
desiring to continue the appeals filed a response on or before August 1, 2016,
showing grounds for continuing the appeals. 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).
