      TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN


                                        NO. 03-01-00220-CR




                                    Kelly Kyle King, Appellant

                                                   v.

                                    The State of Texas, Appellee



 FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. 97-366-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING



PER CURIAM

                Appellant Kelly Kyle King pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Penal

Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001). The district court found that the evidence substantiated

appellant’s guilt, but deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for four

years as called for in a plea bargain agreement. The State later moved to adjudicate and the motion

was granted following a hearing. Appellant was adjudged guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for

twenty years. After the district court denied permission to appeal, appellant filed a general notice of

appeal.

                When a defendant pleads guilty to a felony and the punishment assessed does not

exceed that recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, the notice of appeal

must state that the appeal is for a jurisdictional defect, or that the substance of the appeal was raised

by written motion and ruled on before trial, or that the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex.
R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). This rule applies to an appeal following revocation of deferred adjudication

community supervision if the defendant was originally placed on deferred adjudication pursuant to

a plea bargain. Watson v. State, 924 711, 714-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Appellant’s notice of

appeal does not comply with rule 25.2(b)(3) and fails to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Whitt v.

State, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App.—Austin April 19, 2001, no pet. h.); see also Cooper v. State,

No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001).

               The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
