On Appeal from the County Court Lamar County, Texas, Trial Court No. 52090.
Before MORRISS, C.J., CARTER and MOSELEY, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Donald Mark Gore has filed a notice of appeal from his conviction for the offense of cruelty to animals. We have now received the certification of Gore's right of appeal as required by Rule 25.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2. That certification states that Gore waived his 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 Gore has waived his 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.
