                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
                                    Opinion by Justice Brown
       Paul Robert Pickens pleaded guilty to murder. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the original

charge of capital murder was reduced to murder and the trial court sentenced appellant to sixty

years’ imprisonment. Appellant waived his right to appeal as part of the plea agreement, see

Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000), and the trial court certified that

appellant does not have the right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Dears v. State, 154

S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
