JOSE MORQUECHO, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 228th District Court

 Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1140168

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.  The trial court deferred adjudicating guilt and placed appellant on community supervision for a term of five years.  Subsequently, the State moved to adjudicate guilt.  Appellant entered a plea of true to the motion.  The trial court adjudicated guilt and sentenced appellant on May 13, 2009, to confinement for ten years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss the appeal. 

The record reflects appellant waived his right of appeal as part of his agreement to plead true to the motion to adjudicate guilt.  In exchange, the State recommended appellant be sentenced to confinement for ten years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Negotiated waivers of the right of appeal are valid if the defendant waived the right of appeal knowing with certainty the punishment that would be assessed.  See Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).  Appellant was fully aware of the likely consequences when he waived his right to appeal and was sentenced by the trial court in accordance with the State=s  recommendation.  See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 220 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). 

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
