CHICO CAMPOS, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 351st District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 904695




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant pleaded guilty to sexual assault and, in accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for eight years. The State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt to which appellant pleaded true without a plea agreement. The presence of a court reporter was waived. The trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 20 years. The judgment is stamped, "Appeal waived. No permission to appeal granted." Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal. The trial court's certification of defendant's right of appeal states that the right of appeal was waived. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

An appeal must be dismissed if the record does not include a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record in this case consists of the clerk's record alone, and there is nothing in the clerk's record indicating that the trial court's certification is defective. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. We therefore conclude that appellant waived his right of appeal, as reflected in the certification.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM
