MEMORANDUM OPINION

In four proceedings below, Charles Edwin Toussaint was convicted and sentenced on indictments for possession of a controlled substance and delivery of a controlled substance. Toussaint filed notices of appeal on August 7, 2006. The trial court entered a certification 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 trial court's certification has been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On August 25, 2006, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record in each case. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications.

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.
