In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-17-00050-CR ________________ REGINALD J. SIMON JR., Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 15-21549 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On March 1, 2017, we notified the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of appeal and that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. The notice of appeal seeks to appeal the trial court’s order continuing Simon’s community supervision and imposing additional conditions. The trial court’s order is not appealable. See Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977) 1 (holding that an appellate court lacks jurisdiction on direct appeal from an order modifying the terms and conditions of probation); see also Christopher v. State, 7 S.W.3d 224, 225 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. ref’d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on April 4, 2017 Opinion Delivered April 5, 2017 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ. 2
