Department of Criminal Justice. The trial court’s certification of her right to appeal states that this case “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On April 7, 2016, we notified Jackson that this appeal could be dismissed based on the trial court’s certification unless she or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response on or before April 18, 2016, showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. Jackson filed a response, but it does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.

Therefore, in accordance with the trial court’s certification, we dismiss this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
