In The
Court of
Appeals
For The
First District
of Texas
————————————
NO. 01-10-00621-CR
———————————
DAVID ESPINOZA, Appellant
V.
The State of
Texas, Appellee

 

 
On
Appeal from the 179th District Court
Harris
County, Texas

Trial
Court Case No. 1262522
 

MEMORANDUM OPINION
          We lack jurisdiction to hear this
appeal.  Appellant, David Espinoza, pleaded
guilty to the offense of felon in possession of a weapon, and in accordance
with his plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant
to confinement for 8 years.   
          After the trial court sentenced
appellant to punishment that fell within the terms of the plea bargain
agreement, the trial court certified that this case is a plea-bargain case and
the defendant has no right to appeal. 
Appellant did not appeal any pre-trial matters, and the trial court did
not give permission for appellant to appeal. 
Appellant filed a timely pro se notice of appeal.  
           We conclude that the trial court’s certification
that appellant has no right of appeal, as shown on the form entitled “Trial
Court’s Certification of Defendant’s Right of Appeal,” is supported by the
record that shows he entered into an agreed plea bargain with the State.  Tex.
R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).  Because
appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss this appeal “without further
action.”  Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
          Accordingly,
the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
          We
deny any pending motions as moot. 
PER CURIAM
