AARON ONYEDIKACHI EMETON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 11 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2112756

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of carrying a handgun in a motor vehicle. Subsequently, the trial court 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.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, Busby, and Donovan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b)
