From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2002-CR-0033
Honorable Mary Roman, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

Joe Anthony Gonzalez pleaded nolo contendere pursuant to a plea bargain to one count of evading arrest. The trial court found him guilty of the offense and sentenced him within the terms of the plea bargain. Gonzalez filed a general notice of appeal.

To invoke the court's jurisdiction over this appeal, Rule 25.2(b)(3) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure requires that the notice of appeal state the appeal is from a jurisdictional defect, the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial, or the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3); Young v. State, 8 S.W.3d 656, 666-67 (Tex. Crim. App.2000); see State v. Riewe, 13 S .W.3d 408 (Tex. Crim. App.2000). Gonzalez's general notice of appeal did not meet any of these conditions.

Because Gonzalez's general notice of appeal did not comply with Rule 25.2(b)(3), this court does not have jurisdiction over the appeal. See White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
