NO. 12-14-00202-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS DOYLE HENRY COOK, JR., APPELLANT § APPEAL FROM THE 3RD V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Appellant, Doyle Henry Cook, Jr., pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. In accordance with a plea bargain agreement, the trial court placed Appellant on deferred adjudication community supervision for ten years. Appellant filed a motion for new trial, which was denied. He also filed a notice of appeal in which he expressed his intent to appeal from the judgment of conviction and sentence herein rendered against [him]. In a plea bargain case that is, a case in which a defendant s plea was guilty or nolo contendere and the punishment did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by the defendant a defendant may appeal only: (A) those matters that were raised by written motion filed and ruled on before trial, or (B) after getting the trial court s permission to appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2)(A), (B). In this case, the trial court placed Appellant on deferred adjudication community supervision for ten years as agreed to by the prosecutor and Appellant. And Appellant does not complain about a ruling on a pretrial motion nor does he have the trial court s permission to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a)(2). Therefore, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Opinion delivered July 31, 2014. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
