The trial court attached to its order a copy of the reporter’s record of the June 5, 2018 plea hearin g in cause number 1501850. The hearing record shows that in cause number 1501850 , with an agreed punishment recommendation from the State, appellant pleaded guilty to the felony offense of felon in possession of a firearm. The trial court found appellant guilty and assessed his punishment at confinement for ten years to run concurrently with his sentence in caus e number 1421165. The record further shows that “as part and parcel of this plea bargain in exchange for the state dismissing three other cases and [appellant] pleading to ten years ” in cause
number 1 501850 , appellant was “ agreeing to give up [his] right t o appeal that aggravated robbery conviction

. ” And, t he State was “filing the three motions to dismiss” cause numbers 1501205, 1403781 and 1403217 as “part of that agreement.” A valid waiver of appeal

— one made voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently

—

preve nts a defendant from appealing without the trial court’s consent. See Ex parte Broadway , 301 S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) (citing Monreal v. State , 99 S.W.3d 615, 617 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003 )) ; see T EX

. art. 1.14 (a) (West 200 5) (“ The defendant in a criminal prosecution for any offense may waive any rights secured him by law

. . . . ”). When he waives his right of appeal in exchange for consideration from the State, a defendant’s waiver is made knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily, and he may not appeal any matters unless the trial court first grants permission. See Ex parte Broadway, 301 S.W.3d at4

. Further, a waiver of appeal made after sentence is imposed is valid. Se e Monreal , 99 S.W.3d at 622; Moreno v. State , 327 S.W.3d 267, 268

— Austin 1997, pet. ref’d)

. T he record shows that appellant waived his right of appeal after sente nce was imposed and in exchange for the plea

- bargain agreement in cause number 1421165 , which included the State’s agreement to dismiss the pending charges in cause numbers 1501205, 1403781 and 1403217

. Appellant’s waiver covers all matters unless the trial court gave him permission to appeal. The trial court did not give appellant permission to appeal and certified that he had waived the right of appeal. Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss thi s appeal. Dears , 154 S.W.3d at 613. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We dismiss any pending motions as moot. PER CURIAM
