V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 184th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1038495 and 1038496




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant April Shawnraia Campbell pleaded guilty to the felony offense of aggravated assault in trial court cause number 1038495 and to the felony offense of unlawful possession of firearm by a felon in cause number 1038496. In accordance with her plea bargain agreements with the state, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for four years in cause number 1038495 and to confinement for 11 years in cause number 1038496. Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal in each case.

               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. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Griffin v. State, 145 S.W.3d 645, 648-49 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).

               The trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal in each case states that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal. The record supports the correctness of the certifications. Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 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 note that appellant also waived her right to appeal in each case. See Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).

               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.

Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
