KEITH LASHONE HOGANS, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 
On
Appeal from the 183rd District Court
Harris
County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 761,122
 

 
M E M O R A N D U M  
O P I N I O N
 
Keith Lashone Hogans appeals a conviction for
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon[1]
on the ground that he received ineffective assistance of counsel during the
hearing on the State=s motion
to adjudicate guilt.  We dismiss for lack
of jurisdiction.

No appeal may be taken from a trial court=s
determination to proceed with adjudicating guilt on the original charge
following a violation of the terms of a deferred adjudication community
supervision,[2]
even for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.  Phynes v. State, 828 S.W.2d 1, 2 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1992).  An appeal may only be
taken from the proceedings occurring after the adjudication of guilt, such as
assessment of punishment.[3]
In this case, because appellant=s appeal
complains of matters occurring during the adjudication of guilt proceeding,
rather than any subsequent proceeding, we have no jurisdiction over it.  Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack
of jurisdiction.
