THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE ---------- FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------Appellant Ronnie Charles Scott attempts to appeal from his felony driving while intoxicated conviction. The trial court s certification of Appellant s right to appeal states that this is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal and that the defendant has waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). On June 27, 2012, we notified Appellant that this appeal could be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant filed a pro se response that does not present grounds for continuing the appeal. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure are clear that in a plea-bargain case, an appellant 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. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Because the trial court s certification reflects that Appellant has no right of appeal, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM PANEL: GARDNER, WALKER, and MCCOY, JJ. DO NOT PUBLISH Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b) DELIVERED: July 26, 2012 2
