The trial court signed a certification in which the trial court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and McGhee has no right of appeal.1 On May 26, 2023, McGhee filed a notice of appeal pro se.

1See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
On June 28, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established the certification was incorrect. McGhee, through appointed counsel, requested additional time to obtain an amended certification. In a response, the State asserted McGhee pleaded guilty in exchange for the dismissal of five other cases. On July 18, 2023, the trial court denied McGhee’s motion to amend the certification and reaffirmed that the case was a plea-bargain case with no right of appeal.
McGhee failed to establish that the certification that McGhee has no right of appeal is incorrect. We dismiss the appeal. 2 APPEAL DISMISSED.
