TIMOTHY DEWAYNE MOORE, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 

 
On Appeal from the

Harris County,

Trial Court Cause
No. 902,455

A N D U M   O P I N I O N
Appellant
pled guilty to the offense of possession of a controlled substance on August 1,
2002.  In accordance with the terms of a
plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to
four years= confinement in the Texas Department
of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. 
As part of the plea bargain agreement, appellant signed a written waiver
of his right to appeal.  Because
appellant has waived his right to appeal, we dismiss. 




Appellant
pled guilty and the trial court followed the plea bargain agreement in
assessing punishment.  Despite having
waived the right to appeal, appellant filed a notice of appeal.  Appellant chose to enter into an agreement
that included a waiver of the right to appeal. 
Appellant was informed of his right to appeal, knew with certainty the
punishment he would receive, and that he could withdraw his plea if the trial
court did not act in accordance with the plea agreement.  As appellant was fully aware of the
consequences when he waived his right to appeal, it is Anot unfair to expect him to live with
those consequences now.@  Alzarka
