In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-08-494 CR NO. 09-08-495 CR ____________________ DARRELL WAYLAND NICHOLS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 08-02706 and 08-02723 MEMORANDUM OPINION On October 27, 2008, the trial court sentenced Darrell Wayland Nichols on convictions for burglary of a building. Nichols filed a notice of appeal in both cases on November 13, 2008. 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 1 of appeal. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court s certifications to the Court of Appeals. On November 17, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless amended certifications were filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate records. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(f). The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because the records do not contain a certification that show the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. APPEALS DISMISSED. __________________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Opinion Delivered December 17, 2008 Do not publish Before Gaultney, Kreger, and Horton, JJ. 2
