ROBERT LYNN BELL,

Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee

From the Criminal District Court #4

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Nos. F93-00398-QK, F93-40678-JK,

& F93-40679-JK

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted in three different offenses of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and aggravated sexual assault. All three convictions arose from plea bargain agreements. In the three underlying cases, the punishment did not exceed that recommended by the prosecution and agreed to by Appellant and his attorney. The Rules of Appellate Procedure require that, to pursue an appeal under such circumstances, the Appellant must state in his notice of appeal that he obtained the court's permission to appeal or that he is appealing those matters raised by written motion filed prior to trial. Tex. R. App. P. 40(b)(1).

Appellant's general notice of appeal is insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. See Lyon v. State, 872 S.W.2d 732 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994); Davis v. State, 870 S.W.2d 43 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994).

The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
