CRAIG DICKEY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F06-99720-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Fillmore, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
Craig Dickey was convicted, upon the adjudication of his guilt, of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to twenty-five years' imprisonment. We adopted the trial court's finding that the trial court granted an agreed motion for new trial and the case remains pending.
An order granting a motion for new trial restores a case to is position before the former trial and there is no longer a judgment in place. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b); Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643-44 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1996, no pet.). Absent a judgment of conviction or other appealable order, this Court has no jurisdiction over an appeal. See Wright v. State, 969 S.W.2d 588, 589 (Tex. App—Dallas 1998, no pet.).
We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
