Opinion

No. 01-04-00272-CR.

May 13, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 339th District Court, Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 979150.

Panel consists of Justices NUCHIA, JENNINGS, and KEYES.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of possession of cocaine and true to the allegations in two enhancement paragraphs alleging that appellant had previously been convicted of two felony offenses. In accordance with appellant's plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for three years. Appellant filed a timely notice 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. 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 certification. 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 also note that appellant 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.
