THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 185th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 959,223

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to murder.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, on May 18, 2004, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for twenty-three years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.  Because appellant has no right to appeal, we dismiss. 

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 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 record on appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
