  CURTIS BIAS A/K/A CURTIS PALMER, Appellant
  
  
  V.
  
  
  THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
  
  
  
  
  On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
  Jefferson County, Texas
  
  Trial Cause No. 07-01474
  
  
  
  
  MEMORANDUM OPINION
  
  	On March 26, 2008, the trial court sentenced Curtis Bias a/k/a Curtis Palmer on a
  conviction for evading arrest or detention by using a vehicle.  Bias filed a notice of appeal
  on April 2, 2008.  The trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in
  which the court certified that the defendant has waived his right of appeal.  See Tex. R. App.
  P. 25.2(a)(2).  The district clerk has provided the trial court's certification to the Court of
  Appeals.
  	On April 3, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal  unless an
  amended certification was filed within fifteen days of the date of the notice and made a part
  of the appellate record.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(f).  The record has not been supplemented
  with an amended certification.
  	Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the
  right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  Accordingly, we
  dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
  	APPEAL DISMISSED.
