MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant, Jason Anthony Goolsby, pleaded guilty to the offenses of criminal mischief and theft. In accordance with the plea bargain agreements, the trial court sentenced appellant in each case to confinement for two years. Appellant filed timely notices of appeal. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. In a plea-bargained case in which the punishment assessed does not exceed the plea agreement, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or after obtaining the trial court's permission to appeal. Griffin v. State, 145 S.W.3d 645, 648-49 (Tex.Crim.App. 2004); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court's certification of appellant's right to appeal in each case states that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal. The record supports the correctness of the certification. Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court's certification shows there is no right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
