Appeals Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed June 7, 2022.

                                 In The

                 Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                          NO. 14-22-00249-CR

                     FERRY SPENCER, Appellant

                                   V.

                   THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                  and

                          NO. 14-22-00250-CR

                    FERRALL SPENCER, Appellant

                                   V.

                   THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                 On Appeal from the 179th District Court
                                    1
                                   Harris County, Texas
                         Trial Court Cause Nos. 1685560 & 1612374

                                   MEMORANDUM OPINION

        Appellant entered a guilty plea to assault of a family member and a guilty
plea to theft.1 See Tex. Penal Code §§ 22.01(b)(2); 31.03. In accordance with the
terms of two plea bargain agreements with the State, the trial court assessed
punishment at confinement for one year in Harris County Jail for each offense with
the sentences to run concurrently. We dismiss the appeals.

        In each case the trial court signed 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 are included in the records on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
The records support the trial court’s certifications. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d
610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). On April 29, 2022, this court notified the parties
that the appeals would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless a party
demonstrated that the court has jurisdiction. No response has been received.

        Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

                                              PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain, and Poissant.
