TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-97-00594-CR
Deron Tornell Robinson, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 47,072, HONORABLE JACK W. PRESCOTT, JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM
This is an appeal from a conviction for aggravated robbery. Appellant pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea bargain calling for punishment not to exceed twenty years imprisonment. The district court found appellant guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for fifteen years.
The transcript contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the trial judge. This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed on the day sentence was imposed in open court. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey,
(Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State,548 S.W.2d 388
(Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State,516 S.W.2d 680
(Tex. Crim. App. 1974). There is nothing in the record to indicate that appellant obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue this appeal.The appeal is dismissed.
