PERSHA AL AMA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



On Appeal from the 351st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 937739



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Appellant pleaded guilty to forgery of a commercial instrument and, in
accordance with a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced
appellant to confinement in state jail for seven months. Appellant filed timely notice
of appeal.  We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
	Rule 25.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides, in
pertinent part:
	In a plea bargain case -- that is, a case in which a defendant's
plea was guilty or nolo contendere and the punishment did not
exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and
agreed to by the defendant -- a defendant may appeal only:

	(A)	those matters that were raised by written motion filed and
ruled on before trial, or

	(B)	after getting the trial court's permission to appeal.

Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
	The trial court's certification of defendant's right of appeal states that this
"is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal."  (Emphasis in
original.)  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
	Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
