ROBERT KELVIN SPEARMAN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Robert Kelvin Spearman pleaded guilty to two charges of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and one charge of possession of cocaine in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. Pursuant to plea bargain agreements, the trial court sentenced appellant to three years' imprisonment in each case. Appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea bargain agreements. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex.Crim.App.2000). The trial court's rule 25.2(d) certifications of appellant's right to appeal state both that (1) the cases involve plea bargains and appellant has no right to appeal, and (2) appellant waived his right to appeal. The certifications are supported by the documents before the Court. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex.Crim.App.2005). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
