IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS
JOHN GAMBLE, § APPEAL FROM THE 7TH
APPELLANT
V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, cocaine in the amount
of less than one gram, in a drug free zone. He also pleaded true to allegations that he had been
finally convicted of two prior felony offenses. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain
agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for thirty years.
Appellant filed a notice of appeal.
We have received the trial court's certification showing that this is a plea bargain case and
Appellant has no right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The certification is signed by
Appellant and his trial counsel. The clerk’s record supports the trial court’s certification. See
Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex Crim. App. 2005). Therefore, this court does not have
jurisdiction of the appeal, and the appeal must be dismissed. Accordingly, the appeal is
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Opinion delivered February 12, 2014.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
