- CR, the trial court assessed Appellant’s punishment at confinement for five years and a fine of $1,000; in the remaining causes, the trial court assessed Appellant’s p unishment at eighteen m onths in a state jail facility. In conjunction with the revocation and adjudication proceeding, Appellant waived his right of appeal in each cause. We dismiss the appeal s

. The clerk of this court notified Appellant of this court’s concern regarding Appellant’s waiver s of his right of appeal. We requested that A ppellant respond and show grounds to continue the appeal s

. Appellant has not filed a response.
The clerk’s records reflect that , in each cause, Appellant e ntered into a n

a greement of jail time and signed a waiver of his right of appeal in which he waive d various rights
, including his right to appeal. The waivers provide as follows:

I, the Defendant in the above entitled and numbered cause, having had my probationary sentence revoked and sentence pronounced, hereby expressly state as a fact that I have been fully informed by the Judge of this Court and by my attorney and I know, that I have the legal right of appeal from this revocation to the Court of Appeals . . . , and also the right to be represented on appeal by an attorney

. . . . With full knowledge and understanding of the above, I hereby, in Open Court, state that I do not desire to appeal and expressly waive my right of appeal and I hereby accept as final the Order revoking probation herein.
The waivers were signed by Appellant, his attorney, and the trial judge. The trial court certified in each cause that Appellant had waived his right of appeal. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(d). T h e records on file in th e s e cause s therefore
show that Appellant waived his right of appeal

. Texas has “long held that a valid waiver of appeal prevents a defendant from appealing without the trial court ’ s consent.” Monreal v. State , 99 S.W.3d 615, 617 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003). A waiver3

of the right to appeal is valid if it w as made voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently.
Id. We note that the trial court has not given Appellant permission to appeal

. A ccordingly , we dismiss t h e s e appeal s without further action

. See id. at 622

– 23 ; see also T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 25.2(d).
T h ese appeal s are di smissed
