RICHARD JOHN LIGHTFOOT SR., Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




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

Trial Cause No. 93860




MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Richard John Lightfoot Sr. was convicted and sentenced on an indictment for
burglary of a habitation.  Lightfoot filed a notice of appeal on May 25, 2005.  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 certification has been provided to the Court of Appeals by
the district clerk.
	On June 8, 2005, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless
an amended certification was filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a
part of the appellate record.  See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1.  The record has not been
supplemented with an amended certification.  Because a certification that shows the
defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeal must be
dismissed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
