Gwendolyn Annette Charles A/K/A Gwendolyn Charles v. State ( 2007 )

In The

Court of Appeals

Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

______________________ NO. 09-07-255 CR ______________________ GWENDOLYN ANNETTE CHARLES a/k/a GWENDOLYN CHARLES, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 98214

---

  MEMORANDUM OPINION

Gwendolyn Annette Charles a/k/a Gwendolyn Charles was convicted and sentenced on an indictment for possession of a controlled substance. Charles filed a notice of appeal on May 15, 2007. 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 May 23, 2007, 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 by the trial court 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.
