Lionel Henderson, Jr. v. The State of Texas--Appeal from Criminal District Court of Jefferson County

Lionel Henderson, Jr., was convicted and sentenced on two separate indictments for the state jail felony of theft and was sentenced in each case to 22 months of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. Henderson filed notices of appeal on April 15, 2004. In each case, the trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court's certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On April 22, 2004, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notices and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeals must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
