se general notice of appeal on August 30, 2000. Analysis Before we can reach the merits of the case, we must address the State’s argument that this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal from the trial court’s determination to adjudicate. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 42.12 § 5(b) expressly denies a defendant the right to appeal from a trial court’s decision to proceed with adjudicating the defendant’s guilt. Tex.Code Crim. PROC. Ann. art. 42.12 § 5(b) (Vernon Supp.2001). The court of criminal appeals in Olowosuko v. State, held that “[n]o appeal may be taken from [a deferred adjudication] determination [to proceed with an adjudication of guilt].” Olowosuko v. State, 826 S.W.2d 940, 942 (Tex.Crim.App.1992); Williams v. State, 592 S.W.2d 931, 932 (Tex.Crim.App.1979) (<HOLDING>). In Perez v. State, this court found Olowosuko
holding that a courts decision to proceed with an adjudication of guilt is one of absolute nonreviewable discretion holding that assumption of the defendants guilt is within the courts discretion but is not mandatory holding that such a decision was within the trial courts discretion holding that an adjudication on summary judgment is an adjudication on the merits holding that an offer of judgment to waive a claim for costs made after summary adjudication of one of two of the plaintiffs claims was valid
