Susan I. ANDERSON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Susan I. Anderson pled no contest to tampering with a governmental record with intent to defraud or harm. On January 16, 2015, Appellant's adjudication of guilt was deferred and she was placed on community supervision. On June 1, 2016, the trial court amended Appellant's community supervision conditions. Appellant now seeks to appeal from the trial court's June 1, 2016 order modifying the conditions of her deferred adjudication.
On June 30, 2016, we notified Appellant that “an order modifying the terms or conditions of deferred adjudication is not in itself appealable.” Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 711 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (citing Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977)). We ordered Appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. On July 13, 2016, Appellant's court-appointed appellate counsel advised this court that counsel had reviewed the record and “Appellant is not entitled to a right of appeal.”
Because the order modifying the terms of Appellant's deferred adjudication is not an appealable order, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Davis, 195 S.W.3d at 711.
