Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed February 11, 2016. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-15-01074-CR KENNETH JASON YOUNG, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 185th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1462600 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant entered a guilty plea to burglary of a habitation. The trial court deferred adjudicating guilt and placed appellant under community supervision for four years. Subsequently, the State moved to adjudicate guilt. In exchange for a plea bargain agreement with the State, appellant pled “true” and the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for four years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and assessed a fine of $400. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal. We dismiss the appeal. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the court certified that appellant waived the right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Because the record reflects that appellant waived his right to appeal knowing with certainty the punishment that would be assessed, Ex parte Delaney, 207 S.W.3d 794, 799 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); and Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000), the record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and Wise. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) 2
