OPINION

Printiss Dorsey appeals the trial court’s revocation of his community supervision and assessment of six years’ imprisonment. Dorsey contends the trial court committed reversible error when it proceeded with the hearing that resulted in the revocation of his community supervision without adequate notice to him of the specific violations of the terms of community supervision. Dorsey contends the lack of notice amounted to a violation of due process, equal protection, and due course of law. The State, in its counter-issue, contends Dorsey waived his right to appeal, thereby denying this Court jurisdiction to review Dorsey’s point of error.

Dorsey was indicted in March 1994 on two counts of robbery committed in a single criminal episode. On September 15, 1994, he waived a jury trial and pled guilty to the lesser offense of theft from the person. Following a plea agreement, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt for a period of three years and placed Dorsey on community supervision.
