CHAD PETER FOWLER, Appellant
V.
STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 244th District Court
Ector County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. C-34,309
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
The jury convicted Chad Peter Fowler of burglary of a habitation. Appellant then withdrew his election to have the jury determine his sentence and entered into a plea bargain agreement as to punishment. Contemporaneous with accepting the plea bargain, appellant signed a written waiver of his right to appeal and his right to file a motion for new trial. The trial court accepted both the plea bargain agreement and appellant=s waivers and imposed a sentence of confinement for twelve years consistent with the agreement. Appellant then filed a pro se notice of appeal. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
Appellant=s counsel has responded to our request to show grounds for continuing this appeal. Counsel acknowledges that appellant has filed a pro se application for writ of habeas corpus and that habeas corpus proceedings may be more appropriate in light of appellant=s waiver of appeal. We agree.
The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
