IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-08-00205-CR

Charles Edward Allen,

Appellant

v.

The State of Texas,

Appellee

From the 77th District Court

Limestone County, Texas

Trial Court No. 11449-A

MEMORANDUM Opinion

This is an appeal from a plea-bargained conviction. The trial court s certification of the defendant s right to appeal states that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has NO right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). In addition, the defendant signed a waiver of appeal. The defendant s counsel has notified this Court that the appeal is subject to dismissal for both of these reasons.[1] Under these circumstances, this Court must dismiss [the] prohibited appeal without further action. Chavez v. State, 183 S.W.3d 675, 680 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Gray,

Justice Vance, and

Justice Reyna

Appeal dismissed

Opinion delivered and filed July 23, 2008

[CR25]

[1] Because counsel has notified the Court that the appeal should be dismissed, it is unnecessary to notify counsel under Rule of Appellate Procedure 44.3 that the appeal is subject to dismissal. See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3.
