JULIO CESAR ORTIZ, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

________________________________________________________________

On appeal from the 103rd District Court

of Cameron County, Texas.

O P I N I O N

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Yanez

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant seeks to appeal from orders continuing or modifying community supervision. We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

In Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977), the Court held that a defendant may not appeal from an order continuing a defendant on probation with amended terms and conditions. There is neither constitutional nor statutory authority which would confer jurisdiction on this Court to hear an appeal from an order modifying probationary conditions. Basaldua, 558 S.W.2d at 5.

Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.
