NATHAN EDWARD HAWTHORN, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause Nos. 08-02600, 08-02630




MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 29, 2008, the trial court sentenced Nathan Edward Hawthorn on convictions for unauthorized use of a vehicle and felony theft. Hawthorn filed a notice of appeal on March 6, 2008. The trial court entered certifications of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that these are plea-bargain cases 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 certifications to the Court of Appeals.

On March 28, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless amended certifications were filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(f). The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications.

Because the records do not contain certifications that show the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
