MEMORANDUM OPINION


Carlton Oneal Pope appeals his two convictions for aggravated robbery. In cause number 05-04-00807-CR, appellant entered a negotiated guilty plea. On the same date, in cause number 05-04-00808-CR, appellant entered a negotiated plea of true to the allegations in the State's motion to proceed with adjudication of guilt. Pursuant to the plea agreements, the judge sentenced appellant to imprisonment for twenty-eight years in each case. Appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues. After reviewing the record, we conclude we do not have jurisdiction over the appeals. The trial court's rule 25.2(d) certifications state that appellant waived his right to appeal in these cases. The record reflects that in conjunction with the plea bargain agreements, appellant waived his right to appeal. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex.Crim.App. 2000). Thus, the certifications are supported by the record. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). Because appellant waived his right to appeal, we have no jurisdiction over the appeals. We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
