MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Chavez

Opinion by Justice Yañez

Appellant, Genaro Ramirez, pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation on November 25, 1996. The trial court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for ten years. On September 15, 1999, the trial court revoked Ramirez's community supervision, imposing a punishment of thirty-five years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. With one point of error, appellant alleges that his original plea was involuntary.

A defendant placed on deferred adjudication community supervision may raise issues relating to the original plea proceeding only in appeals taken when deferred adjudication community supervision is first imposed. Manuel v. State, 994 S.W.2d 658, 661-62 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). Because appellant did not file this appeal within the deadlines set by the rules of appellate procedure, we lack jurisdiction to consider it. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2; See also Manuel, 994 S.W.2d at 660-62.

The appeal is DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
