TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-01-00305-CR Quinten Troy Schaefer, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY, 274TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 00-094, HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM Appellant Quinten Troy Schaefer pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (West Supp. 2001). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for thirty years for each count, plus a $1000 fine for count one, as called for in a plea bargain agreement. Appellant filed a general notice of appeal. When a defendant pleads guilty to a felony and the punishment assessed does not exceed that recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant, the notice of appeal must state that the appeal is for a jurisdictional defect, or that the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial, or that the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Appellant s notice of appeal does not comply with this rule and fails to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Whitt v. State, No. 03-00-00194-CR (Tex. App. Austin April 19, 2001, no pet.); see also Cooper v. State, No. 1100-99, slip op. at 6-8 (Tex. Crim. App. April 4, 2001). The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 1 Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices Yeakel and Patterson Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: June 29, 2001 Do Not Publish 1 The record also contains a written waiver of appeal signed the day sentence was imposed.
