OSCAR RODRIGUEZ, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 209th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 966505




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of aggravated robbery and, in accordance with the plea bargain agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years. Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

               In a plea-bargained case in which the punishment assessed does not exceed the plea agreement, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or after obtaining the trial court’s permission to appeal. Griffin v. State, No. 1092-03, passim (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 29, 2004) (designated for publication); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

               The trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal in this case states that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal. The record supports the certification. We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court’s certification shows there is no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

               We also note that appellant waived his right to appeal. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).

               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
