On December 2, 2008, the trial court sentenced John William Greer on a conviction for burglary of a habitation. Greer filed a notice of appeal on January 22, 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 January 29, 2009, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court's certification should be amended. 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.
