On Appeal from the

Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 950,747

O P I N I O N
Appellant entered a guilty plea, without an agreed
recommendation as to punishment, to aggravated robbery.  On October 16, 2003, the trial court
sentenced appellant to confinement for five years in the Institutional Division
of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. 
When appellant entered the guilty plea, he signed a written waiver of
the right of appeal.  Appellant filed a
written notice of appeal.  Because
appellant waived the right to appeal and the trial court did not grant
permission to appeal, we dismiss.  See
Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d
615, 622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).  

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in which the court
certified that appellant waived the right of appeal.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).  The trial court=s certification is included in the
record on appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
