John Charles Truitt v. State
John Charles Truitt v. State
Opinion
John Charles Truitt was convicted and sentenced on separate indictments for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and was sentenced in each case to 15 months of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. Truitt filed notices of appeal on March 25, 2004. In each case, 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 certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.
On March 26, 2004, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notices and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because a certification that shows 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.
APPEALS DISMISSED.
