DANIEL LEE KNOD, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
DISMISS; and Opinion Filed September 18, 2013.
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-35548-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Lewis
Daniel Lee Knod pleaded guilty to theft of property having a value of $1,500 or more but less than $20,000. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement in a state jail for 365 days. Appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The trial court certified both that appellant waived his right to appeal and that the case involves a plea bargain and appellant has no right to appeal. See Tex. r. App. P. 25.2(d); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
Appellant informed the trial court at a hearing on September 10, 2013 that he filed a pro se notice of appeal despite the waiver of his right to appeal; however, he no longer desires to appeal his conviction.
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
