                                      In The

                    Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                              NO. 14-13-00328-CR

                          JOE A. GARCIA, Appellant
                                        V.

                       THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                   On Appeal from the 248th District Court
                           Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 1359826


               MEMORANDUM                           OPINION
      Appellant entered a guilty plea to felony driving while intoxicated. In
accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial
court sentenced appellant on March 15, 2013, to confinement for eight 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 this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no
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.
