Vanessa A. Estrada v. State

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-11-00466-CR Vanessa A. ESTRADA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2009CR2344 Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Delivered and Filed: August 10, 2011 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION On June 22, 2009, appellant Vanessa A. Estrada was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to three years deferred adjudication community supervision and a fine of $1500.00. Thereafter, the State filed a motion to revoke appellant’s community supervision, and on May 13, 2011, the trial court modified the terms of appellant’s community supervision. On June 28, 2011, appellant filed a notice of appeal, seeking to appeal the trial court’s order modifying the conditions of her community supervision. 04-11-00466-CR Modification of community supervision is not appealable at the time of modification. A defendant may appeal the judgment at the time she is placed on community supervision. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.12, § 23(b). Here, appellant did not timely appeal from the judgment placing her on community supervision. A defendant may also appeal her revocation of community supervision when she is notified of the decision to revoke and “is called on” to serve a sentence in jail or in the institutional division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Id. Here, appellant’s community supervision has not been revoked. Appellant, however, cannot appeal from a trial court order modifying the terms of her community supervision. See Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977). Noting that we did not have jurisdiction over this appeal, we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. No response was filed. We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
