COURTELAND PRENTICE CONGO, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



On Appeal from the 185th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1021047



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Appellant, Courteland Prentice Congo, pleaded guilty to the offense of 
aggravated robbery, and, in accordance with his plea bargain agreement with the
State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 12 years.  Appellant has
filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
	 In a plea-bargained case in which the punishment assessed does not exceed the
plea agreement, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were raised by written
motion filed and ruled on before trial, or after obtaining the trial court's permission
to appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2); Griffin v. State, 145 S.W.3d 645, 648-49 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2004); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).  
	The trial court's certification of appellant's right to appeal in this case states
that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal.  The record
supports the correctness of the certification.  Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15
(Tex.  Crim. App. 2005).  We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court's certification
shows there is no right to appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
	We note that appellant also waived his right to appeal.  See Buck v. State, 45
S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).
	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 
	We further dismiss all pending motions as moot.
