Do not publish. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Countiss and Farris.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On August 25, 2021, the trial court sentenced appellant, Jennifer Ami Reno, to 2 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for the third-degree felony offense of forgery of a governmental financial instrument. On August 30, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal. On September 24, 2021, appellant timely filed a motion for new trial. The clerk's record contains an order showing that the trial court granted appellant's motion for new trial. The granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position before the former trial. See Tex. R. App P. 21.9(b). The appeal was rendered moot by the order granting a new trial. See id.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot and for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
We direct the Clerk to issue the mandate within 10 days of the date of this opinion. See Tex. R. App. P. 18.1.
