                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                        Before Justices Moseley, FitzGerald, and Evans
                                   Opinion by Justice Evans
       In cause nos. 05-13-01202-CR, 05-13-01203-CR, and 05-13-01204-CR, Demetrius

Lamar Himphill was convicted, following the adjudication of his guilt, of burglary of a

habitation. Punishment was assessed at twelve years’ imprisonment in each case. In cause nos.

05-13-01205-CR and 05-13-01206-CR, appellant pleaded guilty to the new offenses of robbery

and evading arrest in a motor vehicle. Punishment was assessed at twelve years’ imprisonment

for the robbery and ten years’ imprisonment for the evading arrest. Appellant’s pleas of true and

guilty and the sentences imposed were in accordance with plea agreements, and appellant waived
his right to appeal in each case as part of the plea agreements. 1 See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d
218, 219–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The trial court certified both that the cases involve plea

bargains and appellant has no right to appeal and that appellant waived his right to appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Blanco, 18
S.W.3d at 219–20.

          We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                          /David Evans/
