From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2023-CR-2777
Honorable Joel Perez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
Lori Massey Brissette, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 9, 2026
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant Lorraine Alejandre attempts to appeal from an order signed on May 4, 2026,
altering her terms of community supervision by ordering Alejandre to enter an in-patient
residential treatment program for a minimum of 120-180 days and then participate in an aftercare
program for a minimum of ninety days following her release from in-patient care. On August 7,
2026, we ordered Alejandre to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
04-26-00493-CR
Alejandre’s response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. This court does not
have jurisdiction to consider an appeal from an order altering or modifying community supervision
conditions. 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.”); Aune v. State, No. 04-11-00913-CR, 2012 WL 1142276, at *1 (Tex. App.—San
Antonio Apr. 4, 2012, no pet.) (dismissing appeal for want of jurisdiction when trial court modified
the conditions of appellant’s community supervision by ordering appellant to enter a residential
treatment program).
Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
