IVAN RODRIGUEZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from County Criminal Court at Law No. 13
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1086270

O P I N I O N
	Appellant was charged with possession of marihuana in a useable quantity
of under two ounces, and entered into a plea bargain agreement with the State in
which the State would recommend that punishment be assessed at eight days in jail
with credit for three days.  Appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal if
the trial court accepted the plea bargain agreement. 
	Appellant pleaded guilty, and the trial court followed the plea bargain
agreement in assessing punishment.  Despite having waived the right to appeal,
appellant filed a notice of appeal.  We hold the appeal must be dismissed.  See Buck
v. State, 45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.); see also
Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Bushnell v. State,
975 S.W.2d 641, 642-44 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, pet. ref'd); Littleton
v. State, 33 S.W.3d 41, 43 (Tex. App.--Texarkana 2000, pet. ref'd).
	Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed.
	All pending motions are denied as moot.
