NEKIA PUGH, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 79324 and 79326




MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)

Nekia Pugh was convicted and sentenced on two separate indictments for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced in each case to twenty years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division. Pugh filed notices of appeal on May 4, 2004. In each case, 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 trial court's certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On May 4, 2004, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notices and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The record have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeals must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
