CHARLES FREEMAN, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 85792 and 87309
MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)

Charles Freeman, Jr., was convicted and sentenced on separate indictments for assault and delivery of a controlled substance and was sentenced in each case to 20 years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. Freeman filed notice of appeal on July 2, 2003. 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 July 7, 2003, 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 part of the appellate record. 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.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
