No. 13-07-232-CR
Opinion delivered and filed March 6, 2008. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
On appeal from the 221st District Court of Montgomery County, Texas.
Before Chief Justice VALDEZ and Justices GARZA and BENAVIDES.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Scott Philip Sandidge, filed a notice of appeal challenging his conviction for indecency of a child. By order signed January 3, 2008, the trial court granted appellant's motion for new trial. When the trial court grants a motion for new trial, it restores the case to its position before the former trial. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.9(b). Because there is no conviction to be appealed, we have no jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643-44 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1996, no pet.). The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the trial court's order granting a new trial, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
