JOSEPH KARL BARKER a/k/a JOE BARKER

a/k/a JOSEPH K. BARKER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 09-05811

MEMORANDUM OPINION

           On July 6, 2009, the trial court sentenced Joseph Karl Barker a/k/a Joe Barker a/k/a Joseph K. Barker on a conviction for burglary of a habitation. Barker filed a notice of appeal on July 29, 2009. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal 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 4, 2009, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

           APPEAL DISMISSED.
