<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The county court at law found appellant guilty of deadly conduct.  Tex. Penal Code Ann.
§ 22.05 (West 1994).  The court assessed punishment at incarceration for ninety days and a $600 fine, but
suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on community supervision.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The transcript contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the
trial judge.  This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was
signed on the day sentence was pronounced and suspended in open court.  A defendant who knowingly
and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. 
<EM>Ex parte Dickey</EM>, 543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976); <EM>see also Hurd v. State</EM>, 548 S.W.2d 388
(Tex. Crim. App. 1977); <EM>Reed v. State</EM>, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).  There is nothing in
the record to indicate that appellant sought or obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue this
appeal.</SPAN></P>
