guilty and, pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, assessed punishment at imprisonment for forty
years.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The transcript contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney,
and the trial judge.  This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right
to appeal, was signed on the day judgment and sentence were imposed in open court.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his 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.
