MEMORANDUM OPINION

Nos. 04-06-00883-CR & 04-06-00884-CR

Melvin O'Dale DODD a/k/a Dale Dodd ,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas ,

Appellee

From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court Nos. 2006-CR-10404W & 2006-CR-10405W

Honorable Bert Richardson , Judge Presiding

 

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Alma L. L pez, Chief Justice

Catherine Stone , Justice

Karen Angelini , Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 7, 2007

DISMISSED

The trial court's certifications in these appeals state that each of the cases is a "plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." Rule 25.2(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, "[t]he appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has a right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules." Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Appellant's counsel has filed written notice with this court that counsel has reviewed the records and "can find no right of appeal for Appellant." We construe this notice as an indication that appellant will not seek to file an amended trial court certification showing that he has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); 37.1; see also Daniels v. State, 110 S.W.3d 174, 177 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 2003, no pet.). In light of the records presented, we agree with appellant's counsel that Rule 25.2(d) requires this court to dismiss these appeals. Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed.
