In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-06-00042-CR ____________ HOWARD LOUIS SIMMONS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 262nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1030963 M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N Appellant entered a guilty plea to indecency with a child. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant on August 29, 2005, to confinement for eight years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal. We dismiss the appeal. The record reflects appellant entered a plea of guilty in exchange for a sentence of eight years and the abandonment of two enhancement paragraphs. Appellant was sentenced in accordance with the plea bargain. The record does not include any pretrial written motions filed by the defense on which the trial court ruled adversely to the defense, nor does it include the trial court's permission to appeal. See Barcenas v. State, 137 S.W.3d 865, 866 (Tex.App.‑Houston [1st Dist.] 2004, no pet.). See Waters v. State, 124 S.W.3d 825, 827 (Tex.App.‑Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. ref=d). Consequently, appellant does not have the right of appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. PER CURIAM Judgment rendered and Memorandum Opinion filed January 26, 2006.
