HECTOR A. PENA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 212th District Court Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 12CR3366
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was convicted of criminally negligent homicide. 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 Chief Justice Frost and Justices Christopher and Busby.
