PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">Appellant pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.  <EM>See</EM>
Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001).  The district court adjudged him guilty and
assessed punishment at imprisonment for eight years, in conformity to a plea bargain agreement. 
Appellant filed a general notice of appeal.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">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).  Appellant's notice of appeal does not comply with this rule and fails to confer
jurisdiction on this Court.  <EM>Whitt v. State</EM>, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App.--Austin April 19, 2001,
no pet. h.); <EM>see also Cooper v. State</EM>, No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001).</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.</SPAN></P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">Before Justices Kidd, B. A. Smith and Puryear</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman">Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction</SPAN></P>
