Roy Glenn Whittaker v. State
Opinion
Dismiss and Opinion Filed October 18, 2013
S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00279-CR ROY GLENN WHITTAKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F10-60058-J MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices FitzGerald, Francis, and Myers Opinion by Justice Francis Roy Glenn Whittaker pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine in an amount less than one gram. The trial court deferred adjudication of guilt, placed appellant on community supervision for three years, and assessed a $1,500 fine. The State later moved to adjudicate appellant’s guilt.
However, rather than adjudicating guilt, on January 30, 2013, the trial court modified the conditions of appellant’s community supervision and extended the term by an additional thirty- six months. Appellant thereafter filed a notice of appeal. The Court now has before it the State’s motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond to the motion.
An order continuing an individual on community supervision is not an appealable order.
See Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977). Accordingly, we agree that we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. We grant the State’s motion and dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.1
