WILLIAM MARADIAGA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from County Criminal Court at Law No. 3
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1191590

 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant pleaded guilty to harboring a runaway child and, in accordance
with the plea bargain agreement between appellant and the State, the trial court
sentenced appellant to jail confinement for 60 days.  Appellant filed a timely notice
of appeal.  We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
               Rule 25.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that, in a
plea-bargained case in which the punishment assessed does not exceed the plea
agreement, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were raised by written
motion filed and ruled on before trial, or after obtaining the trial court’s permission
to appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
               The trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal in this case states
that this is a plea-bargained case and appellant has no right to appeal.  Therefore,
neither of the exceptions to Rule 25.2(a)(2) applies.  We must dismiss an appeal
unless the record includes a certification that shows the appellant has the right to
appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
