APPELLANT

V.                                                        §   COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         Courtland Dewayne Lindsay appeals from his convictions for indecent exposure. On
December 5, 2017, Appellant’s counsel filed a memorandum with this Court, in which counsel
states that Appellant filed waivers of appeal after sentencing, that the trial court accepted the
waivers, and that the record contains no certification granting Appellant the right to appeal.
Accordingly, counsel stated that the appeals must be dismissed.
         When the defendant is the appellant, the record must include the trial court’s certification
of the defendant’s right of appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). “The appeal must be dismissed if a
certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the
record[.]” Id. Accordingly, because the trial court did not grant Appellant the right to appeal his
convictions, we dismiss the appeals.
Opinion delivered December 13, 2017.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
