GARY DEAN HOLLAND, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 209th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1092410




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault and, in accordance with the plea bargain agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for two years. Appellant filed a timely 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).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Any pending motions are denied as moot.
