Ronald Guillory, Jr. v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 12, 2018 No. 04-18-00440-CR Ronald GUILLORY, JR., Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 1991CR4522 Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding ORDER Appellant filed a notice of appeal in which he provides he is appealing an order signed on May 4, 1992. The clerk’s record contains an order altering and amending the conditions of probation signed on September 3, 1992. This court does not have jurisdiction to consider an appeal from an order altering or modifying community supervision conditions. Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“There is no legislative authority for entertaining a direct appeal from an order modifying the conditions of community supervision.”); Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Quaglia v. State, 906 S.W.2d 112, 113 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1995, no pet.). In addition, the notice of appeal—filed on June 25, 2018—is untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Absent a timely notice of appeal, this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction by August 13, 2018. _________________________________ Rebeca C.
