dismiss the appeal.
Rule 25.2(a)(2) governs the defendant's right to appeal in a criminal case, and requires that the trial court 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. Likewise, Rule 25.2(d) requires that the trial court certify whether the defendant has a right
of appeal under Rule 25.2(a)(2). Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). An appellate court is required to dismiss an appeal if a
certification that shows the defendant's right of appeal has not been made a part of the appellate record. See
Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d).
The record, in this case, does not include the trial court's certification of the defendant's right to appeal as required by
Rules 25.2(a)(2) and 25.2(d). The clerk of this Court notified Appellant by letter dated August 20, 2007, that a
certification had not been filed, and requested that Appellant file the certification within thirty days; otherwise, the
appeal would be dismissed pursuant to Rule 25.2(a)(2). Appellant has not complied with the Court's request.
Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d).
