THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 177th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1038462

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


Appellant entered a guilty plea to the offense of aggravated robbery without an agreed recommendation as to sentencing.  The trial court deferred a finding of guilt and placed appellant on community supervision for five years.  The State subsequently filed a Motion to Adjudicate Guilt.  In the Stipulation of Evidence on State=s Motion to Adjudicate Guilt, appellant pled true to the allegations in return for the State=s agreement to recommend punishment be set at fifteen years= incarceration.  Appellant signed this plea agreement, which included a specific waiver of his right of appeal if the trial court assessed punishment not exceeding that recommended by the State and agreed to by appellant.  The trial court adjudicated appellant=s guilt and sentenced him on August 30, 2007, to confinement for fifteen years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss the appeal. 

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in which the court certified that the defendant waived the right of appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).  The trial court=s certification is included in the record on appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  The record supports the trial court=s certification.  See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
