DONALD THOMAS DEHNERT, Appellant

V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1655877, 1655873, 1655879, 1655881

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered guilty pleas to four counts of possession of child pornography. See Tex. Penal Code § 43.26. The trial court assessed punishment at 10 years confinement on each count to run concurrently. 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 August 24, 2022, this court notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless a party demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. The response fails to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
