On October 22, 2008, the trial court sentenced Raimond Kevon Gipson a/k/a Raimond Gipson on a conviction for assault on a family member. Gipson filed a notice of appeal on October 28, 2008. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that the defendant waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of Appeals.

On November 13, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless an amended certification was filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(f). The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification.

Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
