Christopher Vargas v. the State of Texas

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 23, 2021

No. 04-21-00508-CR

Christopher VARGAS, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016CR6356 Honorable Maria Teresa Herr, Judge Presiding

ORDER Christopher Vargas was convicted and placed on community supervision on June 5, 2017, pursuant to a plea bargain. The conditions of his supervision have been modified and the term has been extended. On October 29, 2021, Vargas filed a notice of appeal. He appears to be attempting to appeal an order modifying the conditions of his community supervision.

An order modifying the conditions of community supervision is not appealable. See Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 710-11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Elizondo v. State, 966 S.W.2d 671, 672 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, no pet.).

Appellant is therefore ordered to show cause in writing by December 3, 2021 why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. If appellant fails to respond satisfactorily within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed.
