JASON JONES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 09-06867 and 10-08908
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court sentenced Jason Jones on convictions for possession of a controlled substance. Jones filed notices of appeal. The trial court signed 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. We notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeals. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court's certifications should be amended. Because the trial court's certifications do not 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.
APPEALS DISMISSED.
