IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

DENNIS LYNCH, § APPEAL FROM THE 241ST APPELLANT

V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Appellant pleaded guilty to evading arrest, and the trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for two years.

We have received the clerk’s record, which includes the trial court’s certification showing that Appellant waived his right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The clerk’s record also includes a copy of the written waiver of Appellant’s right to appeal, which is signed by Appellant and his counsel. Additionally, Appellant’s counsel for this appeal has informed this court that, after sentencing, Appellant waived his right to appeal. Therefore, he concludes the appeal must be dismissed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). Opinion delivered June 24, 2015. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
