JOHN CHARLES TRUITT, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

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

Trial Cause Nos. 90362 and 90682

MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)
	John Charles Truitt was convicted and sentenced on separate indictments for
unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and was sentenced in each case to 15 months of
confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions
Division.  Truitt filed notices of appeal on March 25, 2004.  In each case, 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 certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by
the district clerk.
	On March 26, 2004, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed
unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notices and
made a part of the appellate records.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1.  The records have not
been supplemented with amended certifications.  Because a certification that shows the
defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeals must
be dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
	APPEALS DISMISSED.
