Court of Appeals

NO. 09-03-086 CR
MACK WHITTINGTON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 83393
MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)
Mack Whittington was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to one year of
confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State Jail Division. Whittington filed a pro se notice of
appeal on February 6, 2003. 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 certification has been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.
On February 12, 2003, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification was
filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record by March 14, 2003. See Tex.
R. App. P. 37.1. The record has not been supplemented with an amended certification. 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 appeal for want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
