In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-10-00547-CR NO. 09-10-00548-CR _________________ OPHELIA PHILLIPS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 10-10138 and 10-10139 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 10, 2010, the trial court sentenced Ophelia Phillips on convictions for delivery of a controlled substance. Phillips filed a notice of appeal on November 22, 2010. 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 district clerk has provided the trial court s certifications to the Court of Appeals. On December 3, 2010, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the 1 appeals. No response has been filed. Because the records do not contain certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals. APPEALS DISMISSED. ___________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Opinion Delivered January 12, 2011 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
