                                          JAVIER MEZA, Appellant

 

                                                             V.

 

                                         STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

                                          On Appeal from the 42nd District Court

 

                                                          Taylor County, Texas

 

                                                  Trial Court Cause No. 22920A

 

 

                                              M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

The trial court convicted Javier Meza, upon his plea of guilty, of murder.  Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for forty years.  We dismiss.


In its certification of appellant=s right to appeal, the trial court stated that appellant had no right to appeal.  On April 18, 2008, the clerk of this court wrote the parties informing them that the trial court=s certification reflected that appellant had no right to appeal and requesting that appellant respond on or before May 5, 2008, showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  No response to our letter of April 18 has been filed.

As part of his plea agreement, appellant waived his right to appeal.  The record before this court reflects that there were no matters raised by written motion and ruled on before trial and that the trial court did not give permission to appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(2).

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed.
