In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-19-00649-CR

ROBERT KETHE CALHOUN, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 179th District Court

Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1321230 MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered a guilty plea to burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for eight years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We dismiss the appeal.

The trial court entered a certification of the defendant’s right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea bargain case, and the defendant has no *2 right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial court’s certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The record supports the trial court’s certification. See Dears v. State , 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Moreover, appellant’s sentence was entered October 11, 2011. Appellant’s notice of appeal, which was due November 10, 2011, was not filed until August 7, 2019. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). If an appeal is not timely perfected, a court of appeals does not obtain jurisdiction to address the merits of the appeal. Slaton v. State , 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
