ANTHONY DEONTA JENKINS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 176th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 997444



 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION 
               Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of aggravated assault and, in
accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced
appellant to confinement for five years.  Appellant filed a timely 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.  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); Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(a)(2).
               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).
               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
