On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-62809-S
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Brown
Paul Robert Pickens pleaded guilty to murder. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the original charge of capital murder was reduced to murder and the trial court sentenced appellant to sixty years' imprisonment. Appellant waived his right to appeal as part of the plea agreement, see Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000), and the trial court certified that appellant does not have the right to appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
