                       THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


                    On Appeal from the 185th District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                        Trial Court Case No. 1478854


                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant, Brandon Robinson, pleaded guilty to the felony offense of

robbery.1 The trial court found appellant guilty and assessed punishment at ten years



1
      See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.02(a) (West 2011).
in prison, suspended the sentence, and placed appellant on community supervision

for five years pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. Appellant filed a pro se notice

of appeal. We dismiss the appeal.

      In a plea bargain case, a defendant may only appeal those matters that were

raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial or after getting the trial court’s

permission to appeal. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 44.02 (West 2006); TEX. R.

APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). An appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that the

defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record. TEX. R. APP.

P. 25.2(d).

      Here, the trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See id.

The trial court’s certification states that this is a plea bargain case and that the

defendant has no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The record supports

the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2005). Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss this appeal.

See Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“A court of

appeals, while having jurisdiction to ascertain whether an appellant who plea-

bargained is permitted to appeal by Rule 25.2(a)(2), must dismiss a prohibited appeal

without further action, regardless of the basis for the appeal.”).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We dismiss any

pending motions as moot.
