ERIC CORNELIUS WEST, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 337th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 926470
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, charged with aggravated assault, pleaded guilty to the lesser included offense of deadly conduct. In accordance with appellant’s plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for two years. Timely notice of appeal was filed. 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 this 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 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.
