TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-09-00374-CR NO. 03-09-00375-CR NO. 03-09-00376-CR

Candice Alexander, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 390TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NOS. D-1-DC-07-302725, D-1-DC-08-300740, D-1-DC-08-300741 HONORABLE JULIE H. KOCUREK, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Candice Alexander seeks to appeal her convictions for criminal mischief and credit card abuse. The record reflects that after filing her notice of appeal, Alexander filed a waiver of her right to appeal in the trial court. Alexander’s counsel also notified this Court of Alexander’s waiver of the right to appeal. A waiver of the right to appeal that is freely and voluntarily made is binding upon the appellant. Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2003). After such a waiver is made, the trial court’s permission is required before a defendant may appeal. Id. Because the record does not reflect that Alexander obtained the trial court’s permission to appeal after filing her waiver, the appeal is dismissed. ___________________________________________ Diane M.
