                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

                           Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Lang
                                  Opinion by Justice Moseley

       Don Alfonso Williams pleaded guilty to murder. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial

court assessed punishment at fifty years’ imprisonment and a $2,500 fine. Appellant waived his

right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-

20 (Tex Crim. App. 2000). The trial court certified that the case involves a plea bargain and

appellant has no right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction based on the plea-

bargained sentence. Appellant did not respond to the motion. Based on the record before us, we

agree we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. We grant the State’s motion to dismiss.
           We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
