PAUL ANTHONY GRAY, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 263rd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1123911 and 1123912

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant, Paul Anthony Gray, pleaded guilty to two separate felony offenses of aggravated assault and, in accordance with his plea bargain agreements with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for three years in each case. Appellant filed timely pro se notices of appeal.

          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).          Because the trial court assessed punishment in these cases that did not exceed the plea agreements, and because appellant did not get permission to appeal or file pre-trial motions that were ruled upon before trial, we dismiss the appeals in cause numbers 1123911 and 1123912 for lack of jurisdiction.
