MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Raymond Arrendondo Moreno, pleaded guilty to the third degree felony offense of possession of a controlled substance and, in accordance with the plea bargain agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 7 years. 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 this 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). We note that appellant also waived his right to appeal. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
