MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 20, 2026, the trial court sentenced Tiffany Andrews in Trial Cause
Number 27837 on an indictment for tampering with physical evidence. On June 23,
2026, Andrews filed a notice of appeal dated June 19, 2026. The District Clerk then
sent Andrews’s notice of appeal and the trial court’s certification to the Ninth Court
of Appeals. The trial court’s certification, signed on May 20, 2026, states that the
case “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal” and that “the
defendant has waived the right of appeal.”

On June 26, 2026, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal
unless the appellant established that the trial court’s certification was incorrect. We
granted an extension of time to file a response, but the appellant did not file a written
response on or before the due date of August 12, 2026. Because the record lacks a
certification that shows Andrews has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
