JOSEPH IVORY, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 230th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 980498 and 978813




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant pleaded guilty to two separate offenses of aggravated robbery and, in accordance with a plea bargain agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 13 years in each case. Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal that included both cause numbers. We dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

               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 obtaining the trial court’s permission to appeal. Griffin v. State, No. 1092-03, passim (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 29, 2004) (designated for publication); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

               The trial court’s certifications of appellant’s right to appeal state that these are plea-bargained cases and appellant has no right to appeal. The record supports the certifications. We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court’s certification shows there is no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
