CHRISTOPHER GOODLEY , Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

___________________________________________________________________

On appeal from the 319th District Court

of Nueces County, Texas.

O P I N I O N

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Yanez

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant seeks to appeal from an order imposing sanctions on defendant and continuing or modifying community supervision. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

In Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977), the Court held that a defendant may not appeal from an order continuing a defendant on probation with amended terms and conditions. There is neither constitutional nor statutory authority which would confer jurisdiction on this Court to hear an appeal from an order modifying probationary conditions. Basaldua, 558 S.W.2d at 5.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
