TRACY BILLY KENT, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 815,236

O P I N I O N

After the trial court denied appellant's motion to suppress, pursuant to a plea bargain with the State, appellant pleaded guilty to the felony offense of possession of marihuana, and the trial court, in accordance with a plea agreement between appellant and the State, assessed punishment at 15 years confinement.

Appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal if the trial court accepted the plea agreement. Despite having waived the right to appeal, appellant filed a notice of appeal. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.2d 275, 278 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.); see also Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Littleton v. State, 33 S.W.3d 41, 43 (Tex. App.--Texarkana 2000, pet. ref'd); Bushnell v. State, 975 S.W.2d 641, 642-44 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, pet. ref'd).

Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed.
