MICHAEL R. GONZALEZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 232nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1050979 

 
MEMORANDUM  OPINION
               Appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of burglary of a building with intent
to commit theft  and, pleaded true to two enhancement paragraphs.  In accordance
with a  plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to
confinement for eight 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.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2); 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).
               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.
