PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">After accepting his guilty plea and judicial confession, the district court adjudged
appellant Ryan Burkhalter guilty of aggravated robbery.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 29.03 (West
1994).  Pursuant to a plea bargain, the court assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty
years.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">The clerk's record 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 imposed 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).  The court expressly denied permission to appeal and the State has moved to
dismiss.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">The motion to dismiss is granted.  The appeal is dismissed.</SPAN></P>
