Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

____________


NO. 01-06-00540-CR

____________


ADRIAN GARCIA, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 182nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1062728




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant pleaded guilty to the state jail felony offense of possession of a controlled substance and, in accordance with his plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for six months. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal. We dismiss 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, 145 S.W.3d 645, 648-49 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004); 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 certification of appellant’s right to appeal in this case states that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal. The record supports the correctness of the certification. Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 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).

               We note that appellant also 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.
