rule 25.2(b)(3). See Tex. R.App. P. 25.2(b)(3)(B) (providing that notice of appeal following negotiated guilty plea must specify that substance of appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial). Before filing his brief, appellant sought leave from this Court to file an amended notice of appeal that complied with rule 25.2(b)(3)(B). Based on our understanding of State v. Riewe, 13 S.W.3d 408 (Tex.Crim.App.2000), however, this Court denied appellant’s motion and dismissed the appeal on March 29, 2001 for want of jurisdiction. Appellant’s petition for review was granted by the Court of Criminal Appeals, which has'vacated our judgment and remanded the cause to this Court for reconsideration in light of its ruling in Bayless v. State, 91 S.W.3d 801, 806 (Tex.Crim.App.2002) (<HOLDING>). Accordingly, we (1) withdraw our opinion
holding that an appeal is perfected when the appeal bond is filed holding that a notice of appeal is timely when filed before final judgment is entered by the district court holding that notice of appeal was not effectively taken where appeal was filed simultaneously with timely motion for reconsideration because when timely motion for reconsideration is filed a notice of appeal filed prior to disposition of the motion to reconsider has no effect holding that an effective notice of appeal must be filed for this court to have jurisdiction to hear the case holding that intermediate appellate courts have jurisdiction to address merits of appeal when amended notice of appeal is filed before briefs are filed
