Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-99-00622-CR Gary Burr, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 0963421, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

Gary Burr appeals from an order revoking community supervision. The underlying offense is robbery, for which the district court assessed punishment of imprisonment for seven years.

The clerk's record contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the trial judge. This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed on the day sentence was imposed in open court. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey, 543 S.W.2d 99 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State, 548 S.W.2d 388 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State, 516 S.W.2d 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). There is nothing in the record to indicate that appellant sought or obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue this appeal.

The appeal is dismissed.
