JOHNI RUTH MARSHALL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

OPINION

MARGARET GARNER MIRABAL, Justice.

In 1995, appellant, Johni Ruth Marshall, pled guilty to aggravated assault, without an agreed recommendation of punishment. The trial court accepted the guilty plea, deferred an adjudication of guilt, and placed appellant on probation for ten years. In 1997, the State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt. In 1998, after a hearing, the trial court found the allegations of the State's motion to adjudicate true, adjudicated appellant guilty, and assessed punishment at two years confinement.

In points of error one and two, appellant asserts the trial court committed error in following article 1.15 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, claiming the statute violates her constitutional right to compulsory process. See TEX. CODE CRIM. P. ANN. art. 1.15 (Vernon Supp. 1999). In points of error three and four, appellant asserts the trial court erred in entering a judgment of guilty because the record is silent as to her waiver of her right to compulsory process.

Appellant's complaints come too late. A defendant placed on deferred adjudication may raise issues relating to the original plea proceeding only in appeals taken when deferred adjudication is first imposed. Manuel v. State, No. 1477-98, slip op. at 2 (Tex.Crim.App. June 2, 1999) (designated for publication).

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
