MEMORANDUM OPINION
On June 26, 2018, the trial court sentenced Steven Louis Massey Jr. on an
indictment for possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. After
signing the judgment, the trial court certified the case resulted from a plea-bargain
and that Massey has no right to appeal.1
1See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On May 16, 2023, Massey, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal. The District
Clerk provided the trial court’s certification that Massey has no right to appeal to the
Court of Appeals. After the Court received the notice, the Clerk of this Court notified
the parties on May 18, 2023, that the Court would dismiss the appeal unless the
appellant established the trial court’s certification was incorrect. Even though
Massey responded to the Court’s notice, his response fails to establish that the trial
court’s certification that shows he has no right to appeal is incorrect.
We dismiss the appeal. 2
APPEAL DISMISSED.

notice too late to perfect an appeal. See id. 26.2, 26.3.
