MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-23-00995-CR

Linda Ann STEPHENS,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 144th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2022CR0905 Honorable Michael E. Mery, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice

Beth Watkins, Justice

Delivered and Filed: January 17, 2024 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Pursuant to a plea bargain, appellant was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision in February 2022. On September 20, 2023, the trial court signed an “Order Amending Conditions of Community Supervision.” On October 11, 2023, appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal, appearing to appeal the trial court’s order amending the conditions of community supervision. Because this court does not have jurisdiction to consider an appeal from an order altering or modifying the conditions of community supervision, we ordered appellant to show cause by December 21, 2023 why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See

We admonished appellant if she failed to respond by that date, this appeal would be dismissed. Appellant did not file a response.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
