TERRENCE DEWAYNE JONES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F08-64015-ST
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Morris, O'Neill, and Fillmore
Terrence Dewayne Jones entered a negotiated guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance, 1-
benzylpiperazine, in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. The trial court assessed the agreed
punishment of two years' deferred adjudication and a $1,500 fine. As part of the plea agreement, appellant waived his
right to appeal. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000).
The trial court issued a rule 25.2(d) certification showing appellant has no right to appeal due to the plea bargain.
See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2. The record supports the trial court's certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15
(Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Mercer v. State, 262 S.W.3d 810, 811 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, no pet.).
Appellant entered into a plea bargain agreement and waived his right to appeal. The record does not contain any
rulings on pretrial motions that would serve as a basis for appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2); Chavez v. State, 183
S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (explaining analysis courts of appeal undertake in determining appellate
rights of plea-bargaining defendants).
The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We GRANT the State's motion.
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
