TEDRICK LAMARR WATTERS v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was indicted for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, a third-degree felony. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 46.04 (West 2011). The State and appellant entered into a plea-bargain agreement in which appellant pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of attempted unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, a state-jail felony, and the State recommended a sentence of 180 days' confinement in state jail. The trial court accepted the parties' agreement and sentenced appellant to 180 days in state jail. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.

The trial court certified that this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court's certification is included in the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
