No. 10-94-109-CR

     JEFFREY MARK ROBERTS,

                                                                                              Appellant

     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                                                                              Appellee

From the 363rd District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Nos. F93-34461-HW & F93-34462-HW

MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant attempts to appeal from a plea bargain in two cases. In both cases, the punishment assessed did not exceed that recommended by the prosecution and agreed to by Appellant and his attorney. The Rules of Appellate procedure require that, to pursue an appeal under such circumstances, the Appellant must state in his notice of appeal that he obtained the court's permission to appeal or that he is appealing those matters raised by written motion filed prior to trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 40(b)(1).

      Appellant's general notice of appeal is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. See Lyon v. State, 872 S.W.2d 732 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994); Davis v. State, 870 S.W.2d 43 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994).

      The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
