TIMOTHY SEAN GELLER, APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 241ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT SMITH COUNTY, TEXASMEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Timothy Sean Geller, pleaded guilty to the offenses of burglary of a building and aggravated assault. We have received the trial court's certification in each case stating that this "is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal[,]" and that "the Defendant has waived the right of appeal." The trial court's certification is signed by the trial court, Appellant, and Appellant's counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
Appellant's counsel in these appeals has informed this Court that Appellant pleaded guilty in each case pursuant to a plea bargain. Counsel states further that, as part of that agreement, Appellant waived his right to appeal, both in writing and in open court, in each case. Therefore, he concludes that these appeals must be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d) (dismissal required if certification showing right of appeal has not been made part of record); Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). We agree. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals "without further action." TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d); Chavez, 183 S.W.3d at 680. Opinion delivered February 17, 2016.
