TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 00-982-K26, HONORABLE WILLIAM E. BENDER, JUDGE PRESIDING
Appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 29.03 (West 1994). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for forty years, as called for in a plea bargain agreement. Appellant waived his right to appeal in writing on the date sentence was imposed.
A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey, 543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). The record contains the district court's order denying permission to appeal. We further note that the notice of appeal does not confer jurisdiction on this Court. See Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80-81 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3).
All pending motions are dismissed. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
