Michael Lavon Smith APPELLANT v.
COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
The State of Texas
STATE
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
Appellant Michael Lavon Smith attempts to appeal from his conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, to-wit: a firearm. The trial court's certification states that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(a)(2). On February 16, 2012, we notified Smith that this appeal may be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Smith filed a pro se response that does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. In accordance with the trial court's certification, we therefore dismiss this appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
