Willie Edward Pugh, Jr. A/K/A Willie Edward Pugh v. State
Opinion
Willie Edward Pugh, Jr. a/k/a Willie Edward Pugh was convicted and sentenced on indictments for possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Pugh filed notices of appeal on March 15, 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 trial court's certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.
On March 19, 2007, 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 certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal have not been made part of the records, the appeals must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
APPEALS DISMISSED.
