NICHELLE NICOLE WOOTEN APPELLANT

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

FROM THE 213TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NOS. 1167628D, 1164732D
----------
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Appellant Nichelle Nicole Wooten, acting pro se, attempts to appeal from
the “Supplement/Amendment to Conditions of Community Supervision” entered
by the trial court in cause numbers 1167628D and 1164732D. On March 13,
2015, we notified Appellant that it appears we lack jurisdiction over her appeals
because the trial court has not entered any appealable orders. We advised
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant that her appeals could be dismissed unless she, or any party desiring
to continue the appeals, filed a response showing grounds for continuing the
appeals on or before March 23, 2015. No response has been filed.
We generally have jurisdiction to consider an appeal in a criminal case
only when there has been a judgment of conviction. See McKown v. State, 915
S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). This court does not
have jurisdiction to consider an appeal from an order altering or modifying the
conditions of community supervision. See 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). Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
