change in my address, I may lose the opportunity to file a pro se petition for discretionary review.

* “A defendant in a criminal case has the right of appeal under these rules. The trial court shall enter a certification of the defendant's
right to appeal in every case in which it enters a judgment of guilt or other appealable order. In a plea bargain case-that is, a case in
which a defendant's plea was guilty or nolo contendere and the punishment did not exceed the punishment recommended by the
prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant - a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by a written motion filed
and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court’s permission to appeal.” TEXAS RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE
