<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	Appellant pleaded guilty to indictments accusing him of retaliation and failure to
appear, enhanced by previous felony convictions.  The district court found appellant guilty of both
offenses and, pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, assessed punishment in each cause at
imprisonment for thirty years.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The transcripts contain a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney,
and the trial judge.  These documents, which reflect a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right
to appeal, were signed on the same day, but after, the sentences were imposed in open court.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not
thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court.  <EM>Ex parte Dickey</EM>, 543  S.W.2d 99 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1976); <EM>see also Hurd v. State</EM>, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); <EM>Reed v.
State</EM>, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).  There is nothing in the record to indicate that
appellant sought or obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue these appeals.</SPAN></P>
