RAMON SILVA SANCHEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 413th Judicial District Court
Johnson County, Texas
Trial Court No. F40105
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Ramon Silva Sanchez attempts to appeal his conviction in trial court number F40105. (1)

A notice of appeal was filed May 30, 2007, and the reporter's record was filed June 29, 2007. We dismiss Sanchez' appeal for want of jurisdiction.

The trial court filed a certification, in accordance with Rule 25.2(a)(2), that this case "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." The certification also states that "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." Rule 25.2(a)(2) states, in pertinent part:

(2) . . . A defendant in a criminal case has the right of appeal under Code of Criminal Procedure article 44.02 and these rules. The trial court shall enter a certification of the defendant's right of appeal each time it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order.

 

Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). If a certification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal is not made a part of the appellate record, we must dismiss the case unless the record affirmatively indicates that an appellant may have the right of appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); see Greenwell v. Court of Appeals for Thirteenth Judicial Dist., 159 S.W.3d 645, 649 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 612 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We have examined the record that exists to determine whether the trial court's certification is defective. See Greenwell, 159 S.W.3d at 649; Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613. Nothing in the record indicates the certification is defective. This Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
