OPINION ON APPELLANT’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW

CAMPBELL, Judge.

This cause is before us on ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍appellant’s petition for discretionary review, the Court of Appeals having affirmed his conviction for aggravated assault after a Motion to Proceed to Adjudication was ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍found to be true by the trial court.

However, in Williams v. State, 592 S.W.2d 931 (Tex.Cr.App.1979), we held that under the terms of Article 42.12, § 3d(b), V.A.C.C.P., ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍no appeal may be taken from the hearing in which the trial court determines to proceed with an adjudication of guilt on the original ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍charge. See Wright v. State, 592 S.W.2d 604 (Tex.Cr.App.1980) and Daniels v. State, 615 S.W.2d 771 (Tex.Cr.App.1981). Accordingly, the purported appeal should have never been entertained by the Court of ‍‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‍Appeals. Therefore, appellant’s petition for discretionary review is refused.

It is so ordered.
