On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F02-71524-U.

Before Justices MOSELEY, BRIDGES, and FILLMORE.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


In 2003, the trial court accepted Charles Ray Washington's open guilty plea to the offense of possession of cocaine in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. The trial court deferred adjudication of appellant's guilt and placed him on community supervision. On January 15, 2010, the trial court accepted appellant's plea of true to violating the terms and conditions of community supervision, adjudicated him guilty, and, in accordance with a plea bargain agreement executed on that same date, assessed punishment at two years' confinement. Appellant now seeks to appeal the trial court's determination to proceed with adjudication of his guilt. The trial court followed the parties' plea agreement and assessed the agreed punishment. As part of the plea agreement, appellant waived in writing his right to appeal. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). Appellant's valid waiver deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider his appeal. See id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
