                                 Kayla Marie Clubb, Appellant

                                                  v.

                                   The State of Texas, Appellee




                 FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY
       NOS. 80369 & 80708, THE HONORABLE FANCY H. JEZEK, JUDGE PRESIDING



                            MEMORANDUM OPINION


               In each of the above causes, appellant Kayla Marie Clubb pleaded guilty to the

offense of possession of a controlled substance in an amount less than one gram and was placed

on deferred-adjudication community supervision for a period of four years. The State filed a

motion to adjudicate, alleging that Clubb had violated the terms and conditions of her

community supervision. At a hearing on the State’s motion, Clubb pleaded true to the State’s

allegations and the district court found the allegations to be true. Instead of revoking Clubb’s

community supervision, the district court modified the terms and conditions and extended the

period of community supervision by six months. In each cause, Clubb has filed a notice of

appeal from the district court’s order.
                It is well established that orders modifying the conditions or extending the period

of community supervision are not appealable orders. 1 See Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 708, 710

(Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“There is no legislative authority for entertaining a direct appeal from

an order modifying the conditions of community supervision.”); Basaldua v. State, 558 S.W.2d

2, 5 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977) (“We find neither constitutional nor statutory authority which would

confer jurisdiction on this court to hear an appeal from an order . . . altering or modifying

probationary conditions . . . .”); Christopher v. State, 7 S.W.3d 224, 225 & n.1 (Tex. App.—

Houston [1st Dist.] 1999, pet. ref’d).     Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for want of

jurisdiction.

          Instead, the appropriate remedy is to file either an application for writ of habeas corpus
in the trial court if alleging a constitutional violation, see Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.072,
§ 3(c), or a petition for writ of mandamus in the appellate court if alleging an abuse of discretion
by the trial court, see In re Gandara, No. 08-17-00053-CR, 2017 WL 2822514, at *2 (Tex.
App.—El Paso June 30, 2017, orig. proceeding) (op.).
