TERRANCE DARRELLE HARDY, Appellant

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 
 
On Appeal from the 228th

Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1282567
 
 

MEMORANDUM
OPINION




          Appellant,
Terrance Darrelle Hardy, pleaded guilty to the offense of fraudulent use and
possession of identification information. 
The trial court found appellant guilty and, in accordance with the terms
of appellant’s plea agreement with the State, sentenced appellant to two years’
confinement.  Appellant filed a pro se
notice of appeal.  We dismiss the appeal.

In a plea bargain case, a defendant
may appeal only those matters that were raised by written motion filed and
ruled on before trial, or after getting the trial court’s permission to appeal.  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.  Tex. R.
App. P. 25.2(d).
Here, the trial court’s certification
is included in the record on appeal. See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  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).  Appellant did not appeal any pre-trial
matters, and the trial court did not give permission for appellant to appeal. 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.  All pending
motions are dismissed as moot.
