SEAN EWALT,§
	APPEAL FROM THE 
APPELLANT

V.§
	COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE§
	SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS



MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
	This appeal is being dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  After a guilty plea, Appellant was
convicted of theft of property having a value of more than $50 but less than $500.  Punishment was
assessed at confinement for sixty days.  Thereafter, Appellant filed a notice of appeal. 
	To be sufficient to invoke the appellate court's full jurisdiction, the notice of appeal filed by
an appellant in a criminal case must bear the trial court's certification of the appellant's right to
appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(a)(2).  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  The
certification should be part of the record when notice is filed, but may be added by timely
amendment or supplementation.  Id.  Appellant's notice of appeal does not include the required
certification.
	On July 16, 2009, this court notified Appellant through his counsel, pursuant to Texas Rules
of Appellate Procedure 25.2 and 37.1, that the notice of appeal does not include the trial court
certification.  The notice also informed Appellant that the appeal would be dismissed unless, on or
before July 27, 2009, the clerk's record was amended to include the required certification.
	The deadline for responding to this court's notice has expired, and the clerk's record has not
been amended to show Appellant's right to appeal.  Therefore, the appeal is dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.
Opinion delivered July 31, 2009.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
