JOSHUA DAVID PATTILLO, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 179th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 949014, 949015, and 949016




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant pleaded guilty to three charges of aggravated robbery and, in accordance with the plea bargain agreement between appellant and the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 14 years in each case. Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal in each case. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

               Rule 25.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that, 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 getting the trial court’s permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

               The trial court’s certification of defendant’s right to appeal in each case states that this is a plea-bargained case and the defendant has no right to appeal. We must dismiss an appeal unless the record includes a certification that shows the appellant has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM
