MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

In this case, Sharon Gayle Vance pleaded guilty to felony driving while intoxicated. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 49.04, 49.09(b) (Vernon 2003 Supp. 2008). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment and a $500 fine. Appellant waived her right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex.Crim.App. 2000). The trial court's rule 25.2(d) certification reflects both the waiver and states the case involves a plea bargain and that appellant has no right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
