Opinion

Appeals Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed June 7, 2022.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-22-00249-CR

FERRY SPENCER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee and NO. 14-22-00250-CR

FERRALL SPENCER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 179th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1685560 & 1612374

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant entered a guilty plea to assault of a family member and a guilty plea to theft.1 See Tex. Penal Code §§ 22.01(b)(2); 31.03. In accordance with the terms of two plea bargain agreements with the State, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for one year in Harris County Jail for each offense with the sentences to run concurrently. We dismiss the appeals.

In each case the trial court signed 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 trial court’s certifications are included in the records on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

The records support the trial court’s certifications. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). On April 29, 2022, this court notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless a party demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain, and Poissant.
