Christopher Vargas v. the State of Texas ( 2021 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
November 23, 2021
No. 04-21-00508-CR
Christopher VARGAS,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016CR6356
Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Christopher Vargas was convicted and placed on community supervision on June 5,
2017, pursuant to a plea bargain. The conditions of his supervision have been modified and the
term has been extended. On October 29, 2021, Vargas filed a notice of appeal. He appears to be
attempting to appeal an order modifying the conditions of his community supervision.
An order modifying the conditions of community supervision is not appealable. See
Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 710-11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d
2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Elizondo v. State, 966 S.W.2d 671, 672 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
1998, no pet.).
Appellant is therefore ordered to show cause in writing by December 3, 2021 why this
appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily
within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed.
