DANIELLE JANA LEWIS,

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 

 
On Appeal from the 184th District
Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No.

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
Appellant entered a plea of guilty to delivery of a
controlled substance on May 25, 2006. 
The trial court deferred adjudication of guilt and placed appellant on
community supervision.  Subsequently, the
State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt. 
Appellant entered a plea of true in exchange for a sentence of four
years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  The trial court entered a judgment
adjudicating guilt and sentenced appellant in accordance with the agreement. 

The record reflects that as part of the agreement appellant
agreed to waive any right to appeal.  The
agreement is initialed by appellant and her signature appears directly below
the waiver.  Despite having waived the
right to appeal, appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.
Appellant chose to enter into an agreement that included a
waiver of the right to appeal, she was informed of her right to appeal, and she
knew with certainty the punishment she would receive.  As appellant was fully aware of the consequences
when she waived her right to appeal, it is Anot unfair to expect [her] to live
with those consequences now.@  Alzarka v. State,
60 S.W.3d 203, 206 (Tex. App.BHouston [14th Dist.] July 26, 2001, pet. granted) (quoting
Mabry v. Johnson, 467 U.S. 504, 104 S. Ct. 2543, 2547-48, 81 L. Ed. 2d 437

(1984)).  See also Blanco v. State,
18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000); Buck v. State, 45 S.W.3d
275, 278 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 2001, no pet.).  
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
