Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas

Jackie Vance Wickman, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

On appeal from the 443rd District Court of Ellis County, Texas Judge Grace Ruth Pandithural, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 47730CR

JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Jackie Vance Wickman appeals from an order amending his conditions

of community supervision signed by the trial court on March 7, 2025.

This Court informed Wickman by letter from the Clerk dated March 17,

2025, that it appeared that the notice of appeal was untimely because the

judgment attached to the notice of appeal was imposed on August 2, 2022. The Clerk further informed Wickman that the appeal would be dismissed unless a

response was filed showing grounds to continue the appeal.

Counsel for Appellant responded to the letter, advising the Court that

the appeal was from the order amending Wickman’s conditions of community

supervision which his counsel concedes is not an appealable order. We have

now received the order amending the terms of Wickman’s community

supervision from which Wickman appeals. A judgment modifying the terms of

community supervision is not a final, appealable order, and an appeal from

such an order is not otherwise authorized by law. Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d

708, 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (citing Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1977)). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
