’s guilt and sentenced him to one year of confinement in a state jail.  Hebert
filed a general notice of appeal.
      To properly invoke the jurisdiction of this Court over an appeal from a negotiated guilty plea,
an appellant must file a notice of appeal which complies with Rule of Appellate Procedure
25.2(b)(3).  White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 429 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Tex. R. App. P.
25.2(b)(3).  This rule applies with equal force to “an appeal, made either before or after an
adjudication of guilt, by a defendant placed on deferred adjudication who challenges an issue
relating to his conviction.”  Woods v. State, 68 S.W.3d 667, 669 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002).
      Hebert’s general notice of appeal does not comply with Rule 25.2(b)(3).  Although he filed
a request for permission to appeal, the record does not reflect that the trial court considered or
ruled on this request.  Accordingly, we dismiss his appeal for want of jurisdiction.
