PAUL HAROLD RICE v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (2010)

Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas.

PAUL HAROLD RICE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

No. 05-10-00648-CR

Decided: June 17, 2010

Before Justices Morris, Moseley, and Lang

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Paul Harold Rice pleaded guilty to felony assault involving family violence. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(b)(2)(A) (Vernon Supp.2009). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court deferred adjudicating appellant guilty, placed him on three years' community supervision, and assessed a $2000 fine. Appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex.Crim.App.2000). The rule 25.2(d) certification states both that appellant waived his right to appeal and that the case involves a plea bargain and appellant has no right to appeal. The certification is supported by the record. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).

We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
