THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE ------------ FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 3 OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 ------------ On February 22, 2010, the trial court filed a corrected certification of appellant Melvin Dashawn Griggs’s right to appeal his convictions that form the basis of these appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), (f). The corrected certification states that these are plea bargain cases in which Griggs has no right of appeal and that Griggs has waived his right of appeal. 1  See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. Based on the information contained in the corrected certification, on March 16, 2010, we issued an order expressing our concern about whether we have jurisdiction over the appeals. W e explained that the appeals were subject to dismissal unless any party desiring to continue them filed a response showing grounds to continue them. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3. W e have not received any such response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W .3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim.
