In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ______________________ NO. 09-08-357 CR ______________________ JARVIS ARDOIN, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Court No. 07-00658 MEMORANDUM OPINION On July 28, 2008, the trial court sentenced Jarvis Ardoin on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Ardoin filed a notice of appeal on August 11, 2008. 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 T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court s certification to the Court of Appeals. 1 On August 20, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless an amended certification was filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(f). The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED. _________________________________ DAVID GAULTNEY Justice Opinion Delivered October 1, 2008 Do not publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 2
