    v.


    The STATE of Texas,

    Appellee


    From the 186th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

    Trial Court No. 92-CR-1513-A

    Honorable Sam Katz, Judge Presiding


    PER CURIAM



    Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice

    Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

    Karen Angelini, Justice



    Delivered and Filed: April 30, 1999



    APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION



    Robert E. Bonds pled guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. However, the trial court did not adjudicate Bond's guilt, instead placing him on community supervision for six years. Thereafter, the State moved to adjudicate Bond's guilt and revoke his probation. However, the clerk's record does not contain either a judgment of conviction or sentencing, and handwritten notes on the clerk's docket sheet state the motion to revoke remains pending. Nonetheless, Bonds filed a notice of appeal stating he is appealing "the judgment of conviction and sentence ... rendered against him." We therefore ordered Bonds on March 10, 1999 to show cause in writing no later than March 31, 1999 why his appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12 § 5(b) (defendant may not appeal adjudication of guilt but may appeal original plea and alleged errors relating to punishment after court adjudicates his guilt and imposes or suspends sentence); Dillehey v. State, 815 S.W.2d 633 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (except in limited circumstances, defendant placed on deferred adjudication probation may not appeal order deferring adjudication); Eaden v. State, 901 S.W.2d 535, 536-37 (Tex. App.--El Paso 1995, no pet).

    Bonds has not responded to our order. We therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of juris-diction.
