ANGEL TELLO, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 184th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 857206 and 857144




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated assault and aggravated robbery after having reached plea bargain agreements with the State. The trial court followed the plea agreements and sentenced appellant to confinement for seven years in each case. 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 each case states that this is a plea-bargained case and the defendant has no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

We also note that appellant waived his right to appeal in each case. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
