Randy Chesteen v. State
Randy Chesteen v. State
Opinion
APPELLANT
APPELLEE
PER CURIAM
Randy Chesteen seeks to appeal from judgments of conviction for burglary of a building and theft. In accord with a plea bargain agreement, the district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for fifteen years in the burglary cause and at incarceration for one year in the theft cause.
The record reflects that appellant, with the assistance of counsel, waived the right to appeal on the day judgment and sentence were imposed in open court. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey, 543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976). See also Hurd v. State, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). There is nothing in the record to indicate that appellant sought or obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue these appeals.
The appeals are dismissed.
