DISMISSED and Opinion Filed November 7, 2017 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-01212-CR BRADLEY JORDAN PAREDES, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE On Appeal from the 203rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F14-24392-P MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Myers, and Justice Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright Bradley Jordan Paredes appeals the trial court’s order extending the period of his community supervision. We dismiss the appeal. On October 13, 2017, the trial court entered an order extending the term of appellant’s community supervision by seventy-two months. Although appellant consented to the extension in writing, he filed a notice of appeal. An order extending community supervision for additional time is a modification of the conditions of community supervision. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.12, § 22(a)(2) (West Supp. 2016); Christopher v. State, 7 S.W.3d 224, 225 n. 1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. ref’d). The Court has no jurisdiction to entertain a direct appeal from an order modifying the terms or conditions of community supervision. See Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W. 2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977). In a jurisdictional letter brief to the Court, appellant concedes that there is no statutory authority that would authorize his appeal. We conclude we have no jurisdiction over appellant’s appeal from the trial court’s extension order. See Davis, 195 S.W.3d at 710; Basaldua, 558 S.W. 2d at 5. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. /Carolyn Wright/ CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE Do Not Publish Tex. R.
