Ora Lee Fuller v. State
Citation: Not availableDocket: 05-19-01062-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; September 13, 2019; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Ora Lee Fuller appealed decisions from the 265th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, regarding three separate criminal cases (Cause Nos. F17-56984-R, F14-76634-R, and F14-76612-R). The trial court's orders, dated August 14, 2019, denied the State's motions to revoke Fuller’s community supervision and continued her on probation. However, the Court of Appeals determined that orders modifying the conditions of community supervision are not appealable under Texas law, citing relevant case law. The Texas legislature allows appeals only from orders granting or revoking probation, not from modifications of community supervision conditions. Consequently, the Court found it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeals and dismissed them for want of jurisdiction. The judgments were entered on September 13, 2019, with Justice Bridges delivering the opinion and Justices Molberg and Partida-Kipness participating.
