Jason David Pavy v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-01-00466-CR

Jason David Pavy, Appellant v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 51,608, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM Appellant Jason David Pavy pleaded guilty to a three-count indictment accusing him of aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnaping, and engaging in organized criminal activity. The court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment for each count at imprisonment for fifteen years, as called for in a plea bargain agreement.

The clerk’s record contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the trial judge. 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). In addition, appellant’s general notice of appeal does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3) and fails to confer jurisdiction on this

Court. Whitt v. State, 45 S.W.3d 274, 275 (Tex. App.—Austin 2001, no pet.); see also Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80-81 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
