LATISHA DARLENE BUHLER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 954,666

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Latisha Darlene Buhler entered a plea of guilty to injury to a child pursuant to a plea bargain and the trial court deferred adjudicating guilt, placed her under community supervision for ten years and assessed a $500 fine.  Subsequently, the State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt.  The trial court did not adjudicate guilt, but amended Buhler=s conditions of community supervision.  Buhler filed a pro se notice of appeal.

Generally, an appellate court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant where there has been a final judgment of conviction.  Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961);  McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. B Fort Worth 1996, no pet.).  The exceptions include:  (1) appeals from deferred adjudication community supervision, Kirk v. State, 942 S.W.2d 624, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997); (2) appeals from the denial of a motion to reduce bond, TEX.R.APP. P. 31.1; McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161;  and (3) certain appeals from the denial of habeas corpus relief, Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App.BDallas 1998, no pet.);  McKown, 915 S.W.2d at 161.

Buhler did not file a timely notice of appeal from the trial court=s decision to defer adjudication.  The imposition of amended conditions of community supervision is not a separately appealable order.  Because this appeal does not fall within the exceptions to the general rule that appeal may be taken only from a final judgment of conviction, we have no jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
