JOSEPH VERNON METOYER A/K/A JOSEPH METOYER, JR., Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 07-00396




MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 25, 2008, the trial court sentenced Joseph Vernon Metoyer a/k/a Joseph Metoyer, Jr. on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Metoyer filed a notice of appeal on April 14, 2008. 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 district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of Appeals.

On April 25, 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.
