KELLY DEAN MORRIS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Opinion By Justice Francis
Kelly Dean Morris pleaded guilty to three aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon offenses and true to one enhancement paragraph alleged in each indictment. Following plea agreements, the trial court assessed punishment in each case at imprisonment for twenty years. The trial court's certifications of appellant's right to appeal state the cases involve plea bargains and appellant has no right to appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(d). The certifications are supported by the records before the Court. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614–15 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).
The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond to the motion. Because the records affirmatively show we have no jurisdiction over the appeals, we grant the State's motion.
We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
