Opinion

No. 07-07-0286-CV

July 25, 2007.

Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 of Lubbock County; No. 2006-533,970; Honorable Larry B. "Rusty" Ladd, Judge.

Before QUINN, C.J., and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant, Tamra Barron Morphis, perfected this appeal from a final decree of divorce. On July 12, 2007, the trial court granted Morphis's motion for new trial. The legal effect of an order granting a new trial vacates the original judgment and returns the case to the trial court as if no previous trial had been conducted. Old Republic Ins. Co. v. Scott, 846 S.W.3d 832, 833 (Tex. 1993); see also Markowitz v. Markowitz, 118 S.W.3d 82, 88 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. denied); Long John Silver's, Inc. v. Martinez, 850 S.W.2d 773, 777 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1993, writ dism'd w.o.j.). Thus, there is no final judgment from which an appeal may be prosecuted.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
