MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 5, 2026, the trial court sentenced Shantel Lynn Schurman in Trial Cause Number D250103-R on a lesser included offense of resisting arrest. On April 6, 2026, Schurman filed a notice of appeal. The District Clerk then sent Schurman’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s certification to the Ninth Court of Appeals. The trial court’s certification, signed on March 5, 2026, states that the case “is a plea-

2

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal” and that “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.”

On April 8, 2026, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established that the trial court’s certification was incorrect. None of the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Because the record lacks a certification that shows Schurman has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
