WILLIAM ROBERT HALE, Appellant
V.
STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 385th District Court
Midland County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CR36776
MEMORANDUM OPINION
William Robert Hale pleaded guilty to the offenses of intoxication manslaughter as
alleged in Count One of the indictment and aggravated assault as alleged in Count Three of the
indictment. Appellant entered into a plea agreement for both offenses and signed a waiver of
jury and agreement to stipulate. Appellant further signed a waiver of his right to appeal. The
trial court accepted appellant’s guilty pleas and assessed punishment in accordance with the plea
agreement at seven years confinement.
The trial court certified that appellant entered into a plea bargain and has no right to
appeal. Appellant did not request the trial court’s permission to appeal any pretrial matters, and
the trial court did not give permission for appellant to appeal. Appellant filed a notice of appeal
for both offenses.
The record supports the trial court’s certification that appellant does not have the right to
appeal. Pursuant to his plea bargain agreement, appellant has no right to appeal. TEX. R.
