i i i i i i MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-10-00530-CR Shelvan CROCKETT, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 7, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 306501 Honorable Monica Guerrero, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 6, 2010 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant Shelvan Crockett s notice of appeal, which was filed in this court on July 13, 2010, and in the county court on July 15, 2010, states he is appealing from a sentence imposed on June 9, 2010. The clerk s record shows appellant was placed on deferred adjudication in November of 2009, and on June 9, 2010, the trial court merely modified Crockett s conditions of probation. Thus, Crockett was not sentenced on June 9, 2010. 04-10-00530-CR In the context of deferred adjudication, this court is required to identify the precise matter the defendant seeks to appeal, and may consider only those matters for which the Texas Legislature has authorized appeal. Quaglia v. State, 906 S.W.2d 112, 113 (Tex. App. San Antonio 1995, no pet.). Although the legislature has authorized immediate appeal from an order granting deferred adjudication, and from the judgment resulting when adjudication is deferred, it has not authorized an appeal from orders modifying the terms of a defendant s deferred adjudication. Id. Because it did not appear that we have jurisdiction over this appeal, see id., on August 25, 2010, we ordered Crockett to show cause, not later than September 14, 2010, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Crockett did not respond to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Do not publish -2-
