TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-01-00707-CR

                                    Michael Liedtke, Appellant

                                                  v.

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee

      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
          NO. 52,511, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

               Appellant Michael Liedtke pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. See Tex. Pen. Code

Ann. § 22.02 (West 1994). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at

imprisonment for six years, as called for in a plea bargain agreement.

               Appellant’s general notice of appeal does not confer jurisdiction on this Court. Tex.

R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3); Whitt v. State, 45 S.W.3d 274, 275 (Tex. App.—Austin 2001, no pet.); see

also Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 79 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (rule 25.2(b) limits every appeal in

a plea bargain, felony case). In addition, the clerk’s record contains a written waiver of appeal signed

by appellant and his attorney on the day sentence was imposed in open court. See Ex parte Dickey,

543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App.

1977); Reed v. State, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).
              The appeal is dismissed.
