LISA ANN BARFIELD, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed July 10, 2012.

On Appeal from County Criminal Court at Law No. 2

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1714161


MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of driving while intoxicated and filed this appeal. The clerk's record reflects the trial court subsequently granted appellant's motion for new trial.

Generally, we only have jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant when there has been a final judgment of conviction. See Workman v. State, 170 Tex. Crim. App. 621, 343 S.W.2d 446, 447 (1961); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 160, 161 (Tex. App. - Fort Worth 1996, no pet.). Because appellant has been granted a new trial, there is no final conviction to appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
