PER CURIAM

<P>Appellant Manuel Antonio Rios pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault.  <EM>See</EM> Tex.
Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001).  The district court found that the evidence
substantiated appellant's guilt, but deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community
supervision for ten years as called for in a plea bargain agreement.  The State later moved to
adjudicate and the motion was granted following a hearing.  Appellant was adjudged guilty and
sentenced to imprisonment for thirteen years.  Appellant filed a general notice of appeal.</P>

<P>When a defendant pleads guilty to a felony and the punishment assessed does not
exceed that recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, the notice of appeal
must state that the appeal is for a jurisdictional defect, or that the substance of the appeal was raised
by written motion and ruled on before trial, or that the trial court granted permission to appeal.  Tex.
R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3).  This rule applies to an appeal following revocation of deferred adjudication
community supervision if the defendant was originally placed on deferred adjudication pursuant to
a plea bargain.  <EM>Watson v. State</EM>, 924 711, 714-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  Appellant's notice of
appeal does not comply with rule 25.2(b)(3) and fails to confer jurisdiction on this Court.  <EM>Whitt v.
State</EM>, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App.--Austin April 19, 2001, no pet. h.); <EM>see also Cooper v. State</EM>,
No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001).</P>

<P>The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.</P>
