MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and assault on a public servant. In accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for four years in each case to be served concurrently. Appellant filed timely notice of appeal. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 25.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, in pertinent part: In a plea bargain case — that is, a case in which a defendant's plea was guilty or nolo contendere and the punishment did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant — a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court's permission to appeal. Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court's certification of defendant's right of appeal filed in each case states that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NOright of appeal." (Emphasis in original.) SeeTex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). We also note that appellant waived his right to appeal in both cases. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
