The clerk's record in this cause, an appeal from a conviction for aggravated robbery, contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, her attorney, and the trial judge. This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed in open court on the day sentence was imposed. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives her 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 this appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.
