ORDER OF DISMISSAL

_______________________________



Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.

Ross Daniel Monnett appeals his convictions for possessing a controlled substance.  He pled guilty to the offenses in accordance with a plea bargain and confessed to the accusations in the indictments.  Upon determining that his plea was knowing and voluntary, the trial court found him guilty of the offenses and assessed punishment within the range recommended by the prosecutor.  As part of the bargain, appellant also waived his right to appeal the causes, and the trial court certified, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(a)(2) and (d), that he had no right to appeal them.  

According to Rule 25.2(a)(2) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the trial court must certify whether or not the appellant has the right to appeal.  If such a certification has not been executed, 
the appeal must be dismissed.
