Before Chief Justice JONES, Justices PURYEAR and HENSON.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


On October 17, 2008, appellant Joseph Culverhouse signed a "plea of guilty, admonishments, voluntary statements, waivers, stipulation judicial confession," pleading guilty to assaulting a family member. On November 25, 2008, the trial court signed a judgment of conviction sentencing appellant to five years' imprisonment pursuant to a plea agreement. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on February 20, 2009. The trial court has certified that appellant has no right of appeal from this plea-bargain case, and it appears that the notice of appeal was filed too late to invoke our jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1) (notice of appeal generally must be filed within thirty days of sentencing or appealable order). Thus, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
