JAMES DOUGLAS FRANKLIN, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 99507, 99544, and 99971
MEMORANDUM OPINION

James Douglas Franklin, Jr. was convicted and sentenced on indictments for felony theft and felony criminal mischief. Franklin filed notices of appeal on April 25, 2007. 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 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 30, 2007, 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 certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal have not been made part of the records, the appeals must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
