ANGEL GUEVARA, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 179th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 896211




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was charged with aggravated robbery, and entered into a plea bargain agreement with the State in which the State would recommend that punishment be assessed at 35 years confinement. Appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal if the trial court accepted the plea bargain agreement.

Appellant pleaded guilty, and the trial court followed the plea bargain agreement in assessing punishment. Despite having waived the right to appeal, appellant filed a notice of appeal. We hold the appeal must be dismissed. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.); see also Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Bushnell v. State, 975 S.W.2d 641, 642-44 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, pet. ref'd); Littleton v. State, 33 S.W.3d 41, 43 (Tex. App.--Texarkana 2000, pet. ref'd).

Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed.
