                                      On Appeal from the 102nd Judicial District Court

                                                             Bowie County, Texas

                                                       Trial Court No. 09F0218-102

 

                                                                                                   

 

 

 

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter


                                                     MEMORANDUM  OPINION

 

            David John Blumen, III, has filed pro se a notice of appeal from his conviction of possession of a controlled substance.  On our review of the clerk’s record, we noted that the trial court’s certification of right of appeal stated that this was a negotiated plea agreement case and that Blumen has no right of appeal. 

            Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record, we must dismiss the appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). 

            Because the trial court’s certification affirmatively shows Blumen has no right of appeal, and because the record before us does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal.

            We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
