                                            TYLER, TEXAS

 ELEUTERIO SALMERON-GOMEZ,                                    §   APPEAL FROM THE 114TH
 APPELLANT

 V.                                                           §   JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

 THE STATE OF TEXAS,
 APPELLEE                                                     §   SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         Eleuterio Salmeron-Gomez appeals from his conviction for driving while intoxicated, third
or more. According to the trial court’s certification, Appellant waived the right to appeal. The
certification was signed by Appellant and his counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The record
also contains an express waiver of the right to appeal, which is also signed by Appellant and his
counsel.
         When the defendant is the appellant, the record must include the trial court’s certification
of the defendant’s right of appeal. Id. This Court must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that
shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” Id. Because
the trial court did not grant Appellant the right to appeal his conviction, we dismiss the appeal.
Opinion delivered November 5, 2018.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
