RENE ORLANDO CASALLAS, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 263rd District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1291121

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant entered a guilty plea to aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of fourteen. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, on February 28, 2012, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt, placed appellant on community supervision for eight years, and assessed a $100 fine. The State subsequently moved to adjudicate appellant’s guilt. Appellant signed a stipulation of evidence and entered a plea of true to the allegations in the motion.

As part of his agreement with the State, appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal. The trial court signed a judgment adjudicating appellant’s guilt and, on May 8, 2013, sentenced him to confinement for twenty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the court certified that the defendant has no right to 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.
