MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
----------
On September
24, 2012, as part of a plea-bargain agreement, Appellant Leonard R. Williams
pled guilty to theft of property valued under $1,500, and the trial court
sentenced him to six months’ confinement in a state-jail facility.  Also on September
24, 2012, the trial court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and that
Appellant has no right of appeal.
Despite
the trial court’s certification, on October 2, 2012, Appellant filed a notice
of appeal.  On October 9, 2012, we notified Appellant’s counsel that the trial
court’s certification indicating that Appellant had no right of appeal had been
filed in this court and that this appeal could be dismissed unless Appellant or
any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for
continuing the appeal on or before October 19, 2012.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3.  On October 10,
2012, we received a response from Appellant pro se.  We have reviewed that
response and hold that it shows no grounds for continuing the appeal.
Rule 25.2(a)(2)
limits the right of appeal in a plea-bargain case to matters that were raised
by written motion filed and ruled on before trial or to cases in which the
appellant obtained the trial court’s permission to appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). 
The trial court’s certification denied permission to appeal, and Appellant does
not challenge a pretrial ruling on a written motion or the validity of his
waiver of the right to appeal such a motion, which the record shows he waived
as part of the plea-bargain agreement.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
