OPINION
WANDA McKEE FOWLER, Justice.
Appellant pleaded guilty to evading arrest using a motor vehicle, a felony offense. See Tex. Penal Code § 38.04. The trial court sentenced appellant to two years’ imprisonment in a state jail. Appellant asserts 1) the trial court did not have jurisdiction over his cause due to a faulty indictment; 2) the sentence handed down was void since his indictment alleges only a misdemeanor; 3) he did not knowingly and voluntarily plead guilty to the offense charged; and 4) his sentence is excessive in violation of both the state and federal constitutions. We affirm.
