MENTRELL CLAY, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 228th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1151526 & 1150620

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered guilty pleas to two charges of aggravated robbery.  In accordance with the terms of plea bargain agreements with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant on February 11, 2009, to confinement for nine years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in each case, with the sentences to be served concurrently.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal of both cases.  We dismiss the appeals. 

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in each case in which the court certified that each 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).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.
