LONNIE ALVIN EDWARDS, JR., Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 179th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 978,035

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to the offense of murder, without an agreed recommendation from the State as to punishment.  The trial court sentenced appellant on October 25, 2004, to confinement for 40 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and assessed a $10,000 fine.  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 appellant waived the 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).  The reporter=s record indicates that appellant agreed, on the record, to waive the right of appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
