Court of Appeals
Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont
NO. 09-07-431 CR
CARL DOUGLAS CHOPANE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 97115
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 16, 2007, the trial court sentenced Carl Douglas Chopane on a conviction for possession of a controlled
substance. Chopane filed a notice of appeal on August 16, 2007. 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 district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of
Appeals.
On September 4, 2007, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the trial court filed an amended
certification within thirty days of the date of the notice and made it a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P.
37.1. The trial court has not supplemented the record with an amended certification.
Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss
the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
