DAVID BRICE HARTMAN,                                        §   APPEAL FROM THE 241ST
APPELLANT

V.                                                          §   JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
APPELLEE                                                    §   SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

                                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                             PER CURIAM
         Appellant pleaded guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child, and the trial court
assessed his punishment at imprisonment for life. We have received the trial court’s certification
showing that Appellant waived his right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The certification
is signed by Appellant and his counsel. The clerk’s record contains a written waiver of the right
to appeal signed by Appellant, his counsel, and the trial court. Additionally, appellate counsel
has filed a “Memorandum of Law Regarding Waiver of Right to Appeal” in which he
acknowledges that Appellant waived his right to appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
“without further action.” See Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (en
banc).
Opinion delivered October 22, 2014.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
