DENNIS WAYNE WILLIAMS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
In appellate cause number 01-09-00846-CR, appellant, Dennis Wayne Williams, pleaded guilty to the offense of possession of a controlled substance, enhanced by a prior conviction for possession of a controlled substance. In appellate cause number 01-09-00847-CR, appellant pleaded guilty to the offense of robbery, enhanced by prior felony convictions for aggravated robbery and burglary of a habitation. In accordance with the terms of appellant's plea bargain agreement with the State in each cause number, the trial court sentenced appellant to fifteen years' confinement in each cause, with the sentences to run concurrently. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal in each cause number. We dismiss the appeals.
In each cause number, the trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea bargain case and that the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Both of the trial court's certifications are included in the record on appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court's certification in each cause. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals in cause number 01-09-00846-CR and 01-09-00847-CR.
