THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 20, 2007, the trial court sentenced Ray Charles Burton a/k/a Ray Burt a/k/a Ray Burton on convictions for burglary of a habitation. Burton filed notices of appeal on September 17, 2007. 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 September 26, 2007, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the trial court filed amended certifications within thirty days of the date of the notices and made them a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The trial court has not supplemented the records with amended certifications.

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 for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
