<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The district court found appellant guilty of the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle,
assessed punishment at imprisonment for two years, suspended imposition of sentence, and placed
appellant on community supervision.  Later, after a hearing on the State's motion, the court
revoked community supervision and imposed sentence.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	The transcript contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant and his
attorney.  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.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times">	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 district court's permission to appeal.</SPAN></P>
