On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F15-53396-W

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Fillmore and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Fillmore Walter Forrest Ross pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine in an amount of

one gram or more but less than four grams. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court

sentenced appellant to two years’ imprisonment. Appellant waived his right to appeal as part of

the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The

trial court certified both that appellant waived his right to appeal and that the case involves a plea

bargain and appellant has no right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Dears v. State, 154

S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We deny as moot counsel’s motion to

withdraw that was filed contemporaneously with an Anders brief.
