JESUS MORENO, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the   177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1058689 

 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant, Jesus Moreno, pleaded guilty to the felony offense of injury to
a child and, in accordance with his plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial
court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years.  Appellant filed a timely pro
se notice of appeal. 
               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).
               We note that appellant also waived his right to appeal.  See Buck v. State,
45 S.W.3d 275, 278 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).
               Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
 All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
