RENARD WAYNE DAVIS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 248th District Court 
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1163649

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal.  Appellant, Renard Wayne Davis,
pleaded guilty to the offense of possession of a controlled substance, and, in
accordance with his plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced
appellant to confinement in the State Jail for one year.  Along with the plea, appellant,
appellant's counsel, and the State signed a stipulation of evidence which included,
among others, the following statements: "I intend to enter a plea of guilty and
understand that the prosecutor will recommend that my punishment should be set at
one year STJ and  I agree to that recommendation...Further, I waive my right of
appeal which I may have should the court accept the foregoing plea bargain
agreement between myself and the prosecutor."  The trial court's judgment is
stamped, "Appeal waived.  No permission to appeal granted."  
	 After the trial court sentenced appellant to punishment that fell within the
terms of the plea bargain agreement, the trial court certified that this case is a plea-
bargain case and the defendant has no right to appeal.  Appellant did not request the
trial court's permission to appeal any pre-trial matters, and the trial court did  not give 
permission for appellant to appeal.   Appellant filed a timely  pro se notice of appeal. 
This appeal followed.
	We conclude that the certification of the right of appeal filed by the trial
court is supported by the record and that appellant has no right of appeal due to the
agreed plea bargain.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a).  Because appellant has no right of
appeal, we  must dismiss this appeal "without further action." Chavez v. State, 183
S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
 
	Accordingly, the appeal in Trial Court Cause Number 1163649 is
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
	Any pending motions are denied as moot.
