The trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for two years in a state jail facility.

We have received the clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s certification showing that Appellant waived his right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The clerk’s record also includes a copy of the written waiver of Appellant’s right to appeal, which is signed by Appellant and his counsel.

On July 23, 2014, this court notified Appellant that the clerk’s record indicates he has waived his right to appeal. Appellant was further notified that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or before August 4, 2014, the information in this appeal is amended to show this court’s jurisdiction. The deadline for amendment has now passed, and Appellant has neither shown the jurisdiction of this court nor otherwise responded to this court’s notice. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
