TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-02-00589-CR
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NOS. 02-528-K368 & 02-529-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING
As part of her plea bargains, appellant promised not to appeal. This promise is binding when, as here, the court follows the agreed punishment recommendation. Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 220 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). Furthermore, appellant's general notice of appeal does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3) and thus does not invoke this Court's jurisdiction. Whitt v. State, 45 S.W.3d 274, 275 (Tex. App.--Austin 2001, no pet.); see Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 79 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (rule 25.2(b) limits every appeal in a plea bargain, felony case).
The State's motions to dismiss are granted and the appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Counsel's motions to withdraw are dismissed.
