In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-08-148 CR NO. 09-08-149 CR ____________________ NATHAN EDWARD HAWTHORN, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 08-02600, 08-02630 MEMORANDUM OPINION On February 29, 2008, the trial court sentenced Nathan Edward Hawthorn on convictions for unauthorized use of a vehicle and felony theft. Hawthorn filed a notice of appeal on March 6, 2008. The trial court entered certifications of the defendant s right to appeal in which the court certified that these are plea-bargain cases and the defendant has no 1 right of appeal. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court s certifications to the Court of Appeals. On March 28, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless amended certifications were filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate records. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(f). The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because the records do not contain certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. APPEALS DISMISSED. __________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Opinion Delivered May 7, 2008 Do not publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 2
