MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Samantha Howard filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s
amendment of the conditions of her deferred adjudication community
supervision. Not only has this court not received any written orders of the trial
court, an order modifying the terms of deferred adjudication community
supervision is not subject to a direct appeal to this court at the time it is rendered.
