JORDASH JEROME HENDERSON Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal. Appellant, Jordash Jerome Henderson, pleaded guilty to the offense of sexual assault of a child, and, in accordance with his plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for two years.
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. The trial court did not give permission for appellant to appeal.
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, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
We deny any pending motions as moot.
