No. 06-11-00156-CR

LEO GRAVES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 123rd Judicial District Court
Panola County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2008-C-0152
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Leo Graves has filed a notice of appeal from his conviction of tampering with government records. The certification of Graves’ right of appeal states that Graves waived his right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2.
Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Because the trial court’s certification affirmatively shows that Graves has waived his right of appeal, and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal.
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
