TIFFANY HERRERA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Do Not Publish - Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
On Appeal from the 228th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1832938 & 1832940
Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Wilson.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant entered a plea of no guilty to two charges of causing bodily injury to a child under fifteen years of age. The record reflects that in exchange for appellant's guilty pleas, the State agreed to dismiss a third criminal charge against appellant. We dismiss the appeals.
Consistent with the agreement between the parties, the trial court certified that each of these cases was a plea bargain case and that appellant had no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). An agreement under which the State dismisses a criminal proceeding in exchange for a guilty plea is a plea bargain for purposes of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(a)(2). Kennedy v. State, 297 S.W.3d 338, 342 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); Shankle v. State, 119 S.W.3d 808, 813- 14 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).
Because appellant's pleas were made pursuant to a plea bargain, she may appeal only matters raised by a written pre-trial motion or with the trial court's permission. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Appellant is not appealing any pre-trial rulings. The record does not contain any adverse pre-trial rulings.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.
