In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-24-00550-CR ERNEST JAVON WATTS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 176th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1636728 MEMORANDUM OPINION The trial court entered a judgment adjudicating appellant’s guilt. Pursuant to a plea-bargain, the trial court sentenced appellant to 3 years in prison. We dismiss the appeal.

The trial court signed 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 trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2005). On October 4, 2024, this court notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless a party demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
