JOSEPH JULIUS MATTE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 94892

MEMORANDUM OPINION
 Joseph Julius Matte was convicted and sentenced on an indictment for forgery.  Matte
filed a notice of appeal on August 31, 2006.  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 September 7, 2006, 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.  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.
