                                          S    In The

                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                               THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
                                  Dallas County, Texas
             Trial Court Cause Nos. F17-56984-R, F14-76634-R & F14-76612-R

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                      Before Justices Bridges, Molberg, and Partida-Kipness
                                    Opinion by Justice Bridges
       Ora Lee Fuller filed her notices of appeal on September 3, 2019, along with the trial court’s

August 14, 2019 orders she wishes to appeal. Those orders denied the State’s motions to revoke

community supervision and continued Fuller on probation in each of the above cases.

       Orders modifying conditions of community supervision are not appealable orders.

Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977); see Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708,

710 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (legislature has authorized appeal in two instances: from order

granting probation and from order revoking probation; there is no legislative authority for

entertaining a direct appeal from an order modifying the conditions of community supervision).

Without appealable orders, this Court has no jurisdiction to entertain these appeals. Abbott v. State,
271 S.W.3d 694, 697 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008); Nikrasch v. State, 698 S.W.2d 443, 450 (Tex.

App.—Dallas 1985, no pet.).

       We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
