PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">The clerk's record in this cause, an appeal from a conviction for aggravated
robbery, contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, her attorney, and the trial judge. 
This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed
in open court on the day sentence was imposed.  A defendant who knowingly and intelligently
waives her 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 this appeal.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">The appeal is dismissed.</SPAN></P>
