Kenneth Wayne Thibodeaux v. State
Kenneth Wayne Thibodeaux v. State
Opinion
On August 11, 2008, the trial court sentenced Kenneth Wayne Thibodeaux on convictions for possession of a controlled substance. Thibodeaux filed a notice of appeal in both cases on September 8, 2008. 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 district clerk has provided the trial court's certifications to the Court of Appeals.
On September 25, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless amended certifications were filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(f). The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications.
Because the records do not contain certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
APPEALS DISMISSED.
