IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-02-161-CR

     TRACY GEORGE STEELE,

                                                                              Appellant

     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                                                              Appellee

From the 66th District Court

Hill County, Texas

Trial Court # 31,693

MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Tracy George Steele pleaded nolo contendere to two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Pursuant to a plea bargain, the court assessed his punishment at ten years’ confinement on both counts. Steele filed a general notice of appeal.

      To properly invoke the jurisdiction of this Court over an appeal from a plea-bargained conviction, an appellant must file a notice of appeal which complies with Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3). See White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 429 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Steele’s general notice of appeal does not. Accordingly, we dismiss Steele’s appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                         PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Davis,

      Justice Vance, and

      Justice Gray

Appeal dismissed for want of jurisdiction
