TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-01-00018-CR

Chris Aguilar, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 0991193, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM Appellant Chris Aguilar pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty-five years, as called for in a plea bargain agreement.

Appellant filed a general notice of appeal.

When a defendant pleads guilty to a felony and the punishment assessed does not exceed that recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, the notice of appeal must state that the appeal is for a jurisdictional defect, or that the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial, or that the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Appellant’s notice of appeal did not comply with this rule and fails to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Whitt v. State, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App.—Austin April 19, 2001, no pet. hist.); see also Cooper v. State, No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001).

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
