Kavan Wayne McLaughlin was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision on an indictment for aggravated family assault. McLaughlin filed a pro se notice of appeal on January 25, 2006. 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.

We notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification was filed and made a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. We provided thirty days notice to the appellant, who filed notice of appeal pro se, and to his appointed trial counsel. ⁽¹⁾ We have received no response. The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification. Because a certification 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); see Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); see also Hargesheimer v. State, 182 S.W.3d 906, 913 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
