RICHARD PAUL LOPEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 184th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1034025
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant pleaded guilty to the felony offense of failure to comply with sexual offender registration requirements and, in accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the state, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years. Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal.
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. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2); 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).
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.
All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
