THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _________________________________ FROM THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY; NO. 78,396; HON. CHARLES D. CARVER, PRESIDING _______________________________ Before JOHNSON, C.J., and QUINN and CAMPBELL, JJ. Troy Stacy Bearden (appellant) appeals from a judgment adjudicating his guilt for the crime of aggravated sexual assault on a child. His sole issue involves whether the trial court erred in failing to have him examined for competence to stand trial at the hearing upon the State s motion to adjudicate guilt and revoke his community supervision. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction. We have no jurisdiction over appeals involving the determination by the [trial] court of whether it proceeds with an adjudication of guilt on the original charge, TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC . ANN . art. 42.12, ยง5(b) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005). Furthermore, such appeals include those involving the appellant s competency at the time of the adjudication hearing. Sanders v.
