DERRICK T. EDWARDS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 176th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 10402522 



 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant, Derrick T. Edwards, pleaded guilty to the felony offense of
burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft and, in accordance with his plea
bargain agreement with the state, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement
for two years.  Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal.
               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.
 All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack, and Justices Jennings and Alcala.
