     SAMANTHA RENA RAYSON, Appellant

                          V.

         THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

     On Appeal from the County Court at Law #3
                Smith County, Texas
           Trial Court No. 003-81787-12

     Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
      Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
                                       MEMORANDUM OPINION

        Samantha Rena Rayson has filed pro se a notice of appeal from her conviction of

criminal trespass.1 We have now received the certification of Rayson’s right of appeal as

required TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2. That certification states that Rayson waived her right of appeal.

        Unless a certification, showing that a defendant has the right of appeal, is in the record,

we must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Because the trial court’s certification

affirmatively shows that Rayson has waived her right of appeal, and because the record before us

does not reflect that the certification is incorrect, see Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex.

Crim. App. 2005), we must dismiss the appeal.

        We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                    Bailey C. Moseley
