FROM THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY;

NO. 78,396; HON. CHARLES D. CARVER, PRESIDING
_______________________________

Before JOHNSON, C.J., and QUINN and CAMPBELL, JJ.
	Troy Stacy Bearden (appellant) appeals from a judgment adjudicating his guilt for
the crime of aggravated sexual assault on a child.  His sole issue involves whether the trial
court erred in failing to have him "examined for competence to stand trial" at the hearing
upon the State's motion to adjudicate guilt and revoke his community supervision.  We
dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
	We have no jurisdiction over appeals involving the "determination by the [trial] court
of whether it proceeds with an adjudication of guilt on the original charge," Tex. Code Crim.
Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, §5(b) (Vernon Supp. 2004-2005).  Furthermore, such appeals
include those involving the appellant's competency at the time of the adjudication hearing. 
Sanders v. State, No. 07-00-0519-CR, 2001 Lexis 6882 (Tex. App.-Amarillo October 11,
2001, no pet.) (not designated for publication); accord, Davis v. State, 141 S.W.3d 694, 697
(Tex. App.-Texarkana 2004, no pet. h.) (holding the same); Nava v. State, 110 S.W.3d
491, 493 (Tex. App.-Eastland 2003, no pet.) (holding the same).  Thus, we have no choice
but to dismiss this appeal.  Phynes v. State, 828 S.W.2d 1, 2 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992).
	Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

following filing of the supplemental clerk's and reporter's records or within 30 days following
the filing of new counsel's brief(s), whichever is later.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a) & (b).
