MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Pursuant to a plea bargain, Jonathan Eugene Patrick pled guilty to
possession of one or more but less than four grams of methamphetamine. The
trial court’s certification of appellant’s right to appeal states that this “is a plea-

continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). We have not
received a response.
Rule 25.2(a)(2) provides that a plea-bargaining defendant may appeal only
matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial or after
getting the trial court’s permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2); Chavez
v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). Because the trial court’s
certification shows that neither of these exceptions is applicable, we dismiss this
appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3; Chavez, 183 S.W.3d at 680.
