MEMORANDUM OPINION
Tex.R.App.P. 47.4.
Leroy Antwine Washington entered guilty pleas to separate indictments for aggravated assault. Following a plea bargain agreement between Washington and the State, the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt in both cases and placed Washington on community supervision for eight years. In subsequent proceedings, the trial court proceeded to adjudicate guilt, convicted Washington, and assessed punishment in each case at ten years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. Washington filed pro se notices of appeal on February 4, 2003. 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 are included in the records on appeal. On February 7, 2003, 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 by March 9, 2003. See Tex.R.App.P. 37.1. The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. In each case, because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeal must be dismissed. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
