M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N


In trial court cause number 01-214, appellant entered a guilty plea to the offense of driving while intoxicated. In trial court cause number 01-298, appellant entered a guilty plea to the misdemeanor offense of theft of between $500 and $1,500. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, on July 17, 2001, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt in each case and placed appellant on community supervision for eighteen months. Pursuant to the State=s motion to adjudicate appellant=s guilt, on April 17, 2003, the trial court found appellant guilty of both offenses and sentenced him to one hundred eighty days in jail. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal for both cases.

In each case, the trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in which the court certified that these are plea bargain cases, and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court=s certifications are included in the records on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.
