In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-12-00201-CR NO. 09-12-00202-CR NO. 09-12-00203-CR _________________ SHERMAN BYRON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 07-01899, 07-02072, and 10-10812 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 23, 2012, the trial court sentenced Sherman Byron on convictions for tampering with a governmental record, forgery, and possession of a controlled substance. Byron filed a notice of appeal on April 20, 2012. 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 April 1 23, 2012, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the 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 ___________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Opinion Delivered May 16, 2012 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Horton, JJ. 2
