KEVIN WAYNE MATTHEWS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1159894

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to burglary of a building with intent to commit theft.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant on September 11, 2008, to confinement for two years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  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 this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no 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.
