Court of Appeals

Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

NO. 09-06-448 CR ____________________

EARL RAYMOND MARS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 221st District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 05-09-08103 CR

---

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Earl Raymond Mars was convicted and sentenced on an indictment for arson. Mars filed a notice of appeal on July 14, 2006. 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 Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court's certification has been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On October 24, 2006, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification was filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification.

Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeal must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
