THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant seeks to appeal from an order continuing defendant on 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.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
