Court of Appeals
Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

CHASTITY S. BROUSSARD, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 85744
MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)

Chastity S. Broussard was convicted of violations of the civil rights of a person in custody and was sentenced to one year of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State Jail Division. Broussard filed a pro se notice of appeal on April 28, 2003. 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 certification has been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On April 30, 2003, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification was filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record by May 30, 2003. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification. Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeal must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
