MICHAEL JAMES JACKSON, APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE 7TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Pursuant to a plea bargain, Appellant pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a felon. In accordance with the terms of the plea bargain, the trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for twelve years and ordered that this sentence run concurrently with Appellant's sentence in a parole revocation. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.
We have received the trial court's certification showing that this is a plea bargain case and Appellant has no right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The certification is signed by Appellant and his trial counsel. The clerk's record supports the trial court's certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex Crim. App. 2005). The clerk's record also shows that in conjunction with his guilty plea, Appellant waived his right to appeal. Based on the trial court's certification and our review of the clerk's record, we conclude that this court does not have jurisdiction of the appeal, and the appeal must be dismissed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
