On Appeal from the 276th Judicial District Court, Marion County, Texas, Trial Court No. F13711.
Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
James Hilton Bond, Jr., appeals from his conviction by the trial court on his plea of guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced Bond to fifty years' imprisonment on each count, to run concurrently. We dismiss Bond's appeal for want of jurisdiction. The trial court filed a certification, in accordance with Rule 25.2(a)(2), that this case "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal." Rule 25.2(a)(2) states, in pertinent part:
(2) . . . A defendant in a criminal case has the right of appeal under Code of Criminal Procedure article 44.02 and these rules. The trial court shall enter a certification of the defendant's right of appeal in every case in which it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order.Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2). If a certification showing that the appellant has the right to appeal is not made a part of the appellate record, we must dismiss the case unless the record affirmatively indicates that the appellant may have the right to appeal. Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d); see Greenwell v. Court of Appeals for Thirteenth Judicial Dist., 159 S.W.3d 645, 649 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 612 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We have examined the clerk's record to determine whether the trial court's certification is defective. See Dears, 154 S.W.3d at 613. Nothing in the record indicates the certification is defective. This Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
