Daniel Rayhaan Ali v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 87th District Court of Freestone County

IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-02-011-CR

DANIEL RAYHAAN ALI,

Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee

From the 87th District Court

Freestone County, Texas

Trial Court # 01-103-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Daniel Rayhaan Ali pleaded guilty to arson. Pursuant to the State s plea recommendation, the court assessed Ali s punishment at twenty years imprisonment. Ali filed a general notice of appeal. To properly invoke the jurisdiction of this Court over an appeal from a negotiated guilty plea, an appellant must file a notice of appeal which complies with Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3). See White v. State, No. 123-01, slip op. at 7, 2001 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 124, at *11 (Tex. Crim. App. Dec. 5, 2001); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Ali s general notice of appeal does not. Accordingly, we dismiss Ali s appeal for want of jurisdiction.
