                         KYLE JACKSON, Appellant
                                        V.
                      THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


          On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 3
                           Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Case No. 2075847


                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Kyle Jackson, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor offense of assault

of a family member. The trial court found appellant guilty and, in accordance with

the terms of appellant’s plea bargain agreement with the State, sentenced appellant
to 355 days’ incarceration in county jail with 2 days credit. Appellant filed a pro se

notice of appeal. We dismiss the appeal.

       In a plea bargain case, a defendant may only appeal those matters that were

raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial or after getting the trial court’s

permission to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). An appeal must be dismissed

if a certification showing that the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made

part of the record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).

       The trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See id. The

trial court’s certification states that this is a plea bargain case and that the defendant

has no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The record supports the trial

court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App.

2005). Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss this appeal. See

Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“A court of appeals,

while having jurisdiction to ascertain whether an appellant who plea-bargained is

permitted to appeal by Rule 25.2(a)(2), must dismiss a prohibited appeal without

further action, regardless of the basis for the appeal.”).

       Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                    PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Bland, Massengale, and Lloyd.
