GREGORY O’NEAL JENKINS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 228th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1003583

 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION 
               Appellant, Gregory O’Neal Jenkins, pleaded guilty to the offense of delivery
of a controlled substance and, in accordance with the plea bargain agreement, the trial
court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years.  Appellant filed a timely
notice of appeal.  We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
               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.  Griffin v. State, 145 S.W.3d 645, 648-49 (Tex. Crim. App.
2004); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); 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.  The record
supports the correctness of the certification.  Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15
(Tex.  Crim. App. 2005).  We must dismiss an appeal if the trial court’s certification
shows there is no right to appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
                    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
