MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
----------
Appellant Clay Bentley Laborde pled guilty to tampering with physical
evidence, a third-degree felony, 2 and judicially confessed in exchange for the
State’s waiver of the habitual paragraph and a two-year sentence. The trial court

See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.09(a), (c) (West Supp. 2014).
followed the plea bargain, convicted Appellant of the offense, and sentenced him
to two years’ confinement.
The trial court’s certification states that the case was plea-bargained and
that Appellant has no right of appeal. Accordingly, we informed Appellant by
letter that this case could be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to
continue the appeal showed grounds for continuing it. 3 Although we received
Appellant’s pro se response, it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 4
