    BARRON COLLINS, Appellant
    V.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
    On Appeal from the 232nd District Court
    Harris County, Texas
    Trial Court Case Nos. 1483440; 1483469
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Appellant, Barron Collins, pleaded guilty in cause number 1483440 to the
    offense of evading arrest or detention and burglary of a habitation. In accordance
    with the terms of a plea-bargain agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant to
    6 years’ incarceration. Appellant also pleaded guilty in cause number 1483469 to
    the offense of burglary of a habitation. In accordance with the terms of a plea-bargain
    agreement, the trial court sentenced appellant in that cause to 6 years’ incarceration,
    with the two sentences to run concurrently. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.
    In a plea-bargain case, a defendant may appeal only those matters that were
    raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial or after getting the trial court’s
    permission to appeal. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 44.02; TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2).
    An appeal must be dismissed if a certification showing that the defendant has the
    right of appeal has not been made part of the record. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
    Here, the trial court’s certifications are included in the records on appeal. The
    certifications state that these are plea-bargain cases and that the defendant has no
    right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). The record supports the trial court’s
    certifications. See Dears v. State, 
    154 S.W.3d 610
    , 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
    Because appellant has no right of appeal, we must dismiss these appeals. See Chavez
    v. State, 
    183 S.W.3d 675
    , 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).
    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. We dismiss any
    pending motions as moot.
    PER CURIAM
    Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Massengale.
