                                         STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                                         On Appeal from the 244th District Court

                                                 Trial Court Cause No. C-34,309

                                             M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

The jury convicted Chad Peter Fowler of burglary of a habitation.  Appellant then withdrew his election to have the jury determine his sentence and entered into a plea bargain agreement as to punishment.  Contemporaneous with accepting the plea bargain, appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal and his right to file a motion for new trial.  The trial court accepted both the plea bargain agreement and appellant=s waivers and imposed a sentence of confinement for twelve years consistent with the agreement.  Appellant then filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss for want of jurisdiction. 

Appellant=s counsel has responded to our request to show grounds for continuing this appeal.  Counsel acknowledges that appellant has filed a pro se application for writ of habeas corpus and that habeas corpus proceedings may be more appropriate in light of appellant=s waiver of appeal. We agree.

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
