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 sexual assault of a child.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to four years= incarceration in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  The plea papers included appellant=s agreement to waive the right of appeal if the court accepted the plea bargain agreement.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss the appeal. 

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant=s right to appeal in which the court certified that the defendant 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 record supports the trial court=s certification.  See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
