Howard
Marti Parra was convicted of possession of less than one gram of cocaine and
placed on community supervision.  He entered a plea of true at the hearing on
the State=s motion to
revoke.  Instead of revoking appellant=s
community supervision, the trial court entered a judgment modifying the terms
and conditions of his community supervision.  Appellant perfected this appeal. 
We dismiss.

The
State has filed in this court a motion to dismiss the appeal on the grounds
that a  judgment modifying the terms and conditions of community supervision is
not an appealable judgment.  We agree.  The modifications of the terms and
conditions of community supervision may be challenged on direct appeal after
community supervision has been revoked pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, ' 23(b) (Vernon Supp. 2007)
or under the provisions of Tex. Code
Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.072 (Vernon 2005).  Davis v. State, 195
S.W.3d 708, 710 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006); Basaldua v. State, 558
S.W.2d 2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977).
The
motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
