Appellant Glen Howard Alexander pleaded no contest to an indictment accusing him 

of aggravated sexual assault of a child.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Penal Code Ann.  22.021(a)(1)(B)(i), (2)(B) (West 

Supp. 2001).  As called for in a plea bargain agreement, the district court deferred adjudication of 

guilt and placed appellant on community supervision.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal and 

represents himself before this Court. 

 

<P>When a defendant pleads guilty to a felony and the punishment assessed does not 

exceed that recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, the notice of appeal 

must state that the appeal is for a jurisdictional defect, or that the substance of the appeal was raised 

by written motion and ruled on before trial, or that the trial court granted permission to appeal.  Tex. 

R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3).  Appellant's notice of appeal does not comply with this rule and fails to confer 

jurisdiction on this Court.  <EM>Whitt v. State</EM>, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App.--Austin April 19, 2001, 

no pet. h.); <EM>see also Cooper v. State</EM>, No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001) 

(voluntariness of appeal).</P> 

 

<P>The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.</P>
